Everpure: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Everpure, formerly Pure Storage, sells enterprise data storage, mainly all-flash storage arrays such as FlashArray, together with the Evergreen upgrade architecture and the consumption-based Evergreen//One service. The company renamed itself Everpure, Inc. with effect from 23 February 2026, and according to its rename FAQ the legal entity remains the same. The arrays are installed in the customer's own data centres, so the core product is self-hosted; subscriptions and management services come from the vendor.

The company's principal executive offices are in Mountain View, California, United States, according to the cover page of a 2023 annual report. It is a publicly traded company, so no majority owner is named. Because the vendor is subject to US jurisdiction, legal requests such as those under the US CLOUD Act can apply regardless of where the hardware stands. The vendor does not state data-residency options for its cloud-operated services. For a European organisation, the practical points are where vendor-operated management or telemetry data is processed, how remote support access is controlled, and the exit conditions of a subscription.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Everpure

Everpure is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Everpure runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Everpure is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Everpure together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
