Portworx by Pure Storage is the leading global solution for unlocking the potential of Kubernetes by unlocking the power of data at enterprise scale. Portworx is a cloud native platform that enterprises depend on to reduce the cost and complexity of rapidly deploying containerized applications across multiple clouds and on-prem environments. By providing a single standard that works across the environment, we reduce the operating cost of kubernetes, unlock more use cases, respond and pivot to changes due to economic, regulatory and/or business impacts and make it easier to modernize applications, delight developers, and deliver innovation.
Via Portworx, you can manage any database or stateful service on any infrastructure using any container scheduler. You get a single data management layer for all of your stateful services, no matter where they run. And we thrive in multi-cloud environments.
