Everpure, formerly known as Pure Storage, is a data storage and data management company that officially rebranded in February 2026 to reflect its evolution from a storage hardware provider to a comprehensive data management platform for the AI era. Founded by John "Coz" Colgrove, the company has been operating for 16 years and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PSTG. Everpure provides the Enterprise Data Cloud architecture, an operating model that transforms storage into a unified, virtualized cloud of data governed by an intelligent control plane, managing datasets globally through policy-based controls across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. The company supplies FlashArray and FlashBlade all-flash arrays, Portworx cloud-native storage, and is known for its Evergreen model for non-disruptive array upgrades, Pure Fusion for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and Pure1 for AI-driven management. Everpure announced its intent to acquire 1touch, a data discovery and Data Security Posture Management company, to integrate data discovery, classification, contextualization, and enrichment capabilities directly into its platform. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal year 2027. Everpure focuses on helping enterprises transform operational data into actionable information by addressing data fragmentation, governance challenges, and the inability to make data available at machine speed while maintaining access controls and sovereignty requirements. The company serves Fortune 500 customers across major industries including financial services, healthcare, and technology, with clients such as Fiserv, Options Technology, and Computacenter. Everpure operates through the domain everpuredata.com and emphasizes making data secure, accessible, intelligent, and AI-ready at the source, positioning itself as a data management authority rather than simply a storage vendor.

The SCO Group began in 2002 with a renaming of Caldera International, accompanied by McBride becoming CEO and a major change in business strategy and direction. The SCO brand was re-emphasized and new releases of UnixWare and OpenServer came out. The company also attempted some initiatives in the e-commerce space with the SCOBiz and SCOx programs. In 2003, the SCO Group claimed that the increasingly popular free Linux operating system contained substantial amounts of Unix code that IBM had improperly put there. The SCOsource division was created to monetize the company's intellectual property by selling Unix license rights to use Linux. The SCO v. IBM lawsuit was filed, asking for billion-dollar damages and setting off one of the top technology battles in the history of the industry. By a year later, four additional lawsuits had been filed involving the company. Reaction to SCO's actions from the free and open source software community was intensely negative and the general IT industry was not enamored of the actions either. SCO soon became, as Businessweek headlined, "The Most Hated Company in Tech". SCO Group stock rose rapidly during 2003, but then SCOsource revenue became erratic and the stock began a long fall. Despite the industry's attention to the lawsuits, SCO continued to maintain a product focus as well, putting out a major new release of OpenServer that incorporated the UnixWare kernel inside it. SCO also made a major push in the burgeoning smartphones space, launching the Me Inc. platform for mobility services. But despite these actions, the company steadily lost money and ...
