Pure Storage becomes Everpure; announces intent to acquire 1touch

Pure Storage®, the company revolutionizing  storage and data management, announced its new name: Everpure™. This change reflects the  company’s greater impact from reshaping storage to defining the future of data management. The  company also announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 1touch, an innovator  in data intelligence and orchestration that provides a comprehensive, unified view of an enterprise’s  information. With 1touch, Everpure furthers its commitment to data management innovation, making  data secure, accessible, intelligent, and ready to perform.  

“Everpure reflects the company we have become as we help enterprises unleash the full power of  their data. It captures the power of our Enterprise Data Cloud architecture and adaptability of  Evergreen, reinforcing what has always set us apart as we redefine important markets,” said Charles Giancarlo, CEO of Everpure.

“With 1touch, we are taking the next step in helping  organizations not only gain control of their most valuable asset—data—but also understand,  enhance, and contextualize that data for actionable intelligence.” 

Accelerating Data Management Innovation in the AI Era 

As AI becomes central to business operations, the modern enterprise has reached an inflection point. AI  has exposed the weaknesses of current infrastructure, where siloed data, manual processes, and  inflexible architectures cannot support the scale, speed, and intelligence demands of enterprise AI. 

Data is an organization’s most valuable asset, but it is trapped by these inefficiencies. Its full value can  only be derived if it is effortless to manage, continuously protected, instantly available, and infused with  context. Everpure is breaking these barriers with its Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC) architecture.

Powered by  the Everpure Platform (formerly the Pure Storage Platform), Everpure’s EDC architecture transforms  storage into a unified, virtualized cloud of data, governed by an intelligent control plane. It manages  datasets globally, through policy, eliminating the friction of manual configurations, which brings  unprecedented simplicity, agility, and efficiency to data management. 

Extending Everpure’s Data Management Roadmap With 1touch 

The acquisition of 1touch will extend Everpure’s data management capabilities by adding data discovery  and semantic context to the Everpure Platform. By integrating storage with 1touch’s ability to discover,  classify, contextualize, and enrich data across all datasets and any environment—from SaaS to the edge— Everpure will ensure enterprise data is inherently AI-ready at the source. This will allow organizations to  transform raw data into actionable insights faster than ever. 

“Data is the lifeblood of the AI era, but without the proper controls and semantic context, it remains an  untapped resource,” said Ashish Gupta, CEO and president, 1touch.

“By joining forces with Everpure, we  can eliminate the barriers that have kept enterprises from realizing the true ROI of their data. Together, we  will further expand the Everpure platform to provide a level of contextual intelligence that is unmatched in the industry—giving customers the foundation they need to move AI projects from pilot to production at  record speed and trust.” 

Pure Storage will begin trading as Everpure on the New York Stock Exchange as of March 5, 2026. The  ticker symbol (NYSE: PSTG) will remain unchanged. 

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in Q2 FY27. The terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
