Portworx: Container Technology for reduced storage and compute costs
As container adoption increases and more applications are being deployed in the enterprise, organisations need options to manage stateful and persistent data.
Tier 2 Consulting are container platform specialists, and a certified partner for Portworx by Pure Storage, delivering fully integrated solutions to customers for persistent storage, data protection, disaster recovery, DBaaS and automated capacity management for Kubernetes applications built by developers.
Top Four Benefits of Portworx:
- Kubernetes Storage: Running stateful apps on Kubernetes? You may come across issues including data persistence; storage resources; data protection; scalability; and security. Portworx provides cloud native storage and data management built from the ground up for Kubernetes.
- Backup and Disaster Recovery: Backing up a Kubernetes cluster cannot be done the same way as a traditional monolithic application, there are specific key differences between traditional and containerised applications that present several big challenges. Portworx is a solution to easily backup and restore all your Kubernetes applications between any cloud or on-prem data centre. Portworx provides automated disaster recovery for Kubernetes applications and data.
- Database as a Service: Are you considering a move to DBaaS (database as a service) on kubernetes? It is a challenge to balance developer needs (eg ease of use; self-service) with governance requirements (eg data protection, access control). Portworx gives developers the self-service they want, while maintaining operational control, data protection and security that IT requires.
- Modern Virtualisation: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (OSV), backed by Portworx storage solutions, addresses this challenge by providing VM infrastructure within Kubernetes clusters. This means that organisations can easily run applications in VMs alongside applications in containers, taking advantage of a common user experience and allowing enterprises to rehost, refactor, redeploy or rebuild applications if and when they are ready as part of their app modernization efforts
