RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. [August 22, 2025] – With plans to expand its workforce in the Triangle Region, Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), a global leader in advanced data storage, has opened an East Coast office at Hub RTP, the vibrant downtown district of Research Triangle Park (RTP).
As reported by the Triangle Business Journal, the public company made a $1.3 million investment to upfit a 7,600-square-foot office space at 4000 Sancar Way in Durham, N.C., to accommodate up to 80 employees, establishing a strategic base for growth and innovation. Employees marked the milestone with a ribbon-cutting and daylong celebration that featured a fireside chat with Chief Customer Experience Officer Joe Pinto, Vice President of Technical Service John Boggs, and Vice President of CX Customer Advocacy Suhil Rathod.
