MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Portworx by Pure Storage, the industry's most complete
Kubernetes Data Services Platform, today announced updates to its
award-winning product for full-service data protection, PX-Backup.
The latest release, PX-Backup 1.2, now works with any storage array
or software-defined storage (SDS) solution that supports the
Kubernetes CSI spec, including Pure Storage FlashArray and
FlashBlade. This gives customers flexibility and choice across any
environment, even if they're not using PX-Store, Portworx's own
container-granular storage engine. Additionally, PX-Backup 1.2
integrates a new usage-based billing model priced at 20 cents/node/hour, making it the ideal choice
for growing businesses who want the flexibility of a pay-as-you-go
model. To validate this, Portworx was named a leader in the GigaOm
Radar Report for Kubernetes Data Protection for providing "a highly
scalable and flexible solution for Kubernetes data storage and
management that works seamlessly across different on-premises and
cloud environments".

According to 451 Research, 53% of companies have application
recovery point objectives (RPO) of less than 24 hours even for
non-critical apps and data – demonstrating the criticality of
backups for all enterprise applications. To solve this, Portworx
released PX-Backup, a point-and-click backup and recovery solution
for Kubernetes applications. PX-Backup provides IT organizations
with an end-to-end backup solution for containerized applications
capable of managing container data lifecycles, cataloging relevant
metadata, improving visibility of data access, and enabling
restoration of full Kubernetes applications. PX-Backup delivers
true multi-cloud availability across both stateless and stateful
Kubernetes clusters, supporting major block storage systems like
Amazon EBS, Google Persistent Disk, Azure Managed Disks, VMWare
Storage, Pure FlashArray and any other CSI-compatible storage
system.
"One year ago today, we introduced PX-Backup as a way for
enterprises to capture Kubernetes application data, configuration
and objects as a single unit, making them easily recoverable and
redeployable," said Murli Thirumale,
General Manager, Cloud Native Business Unit, Pure Storage. "Today's
release introduces PX-Backup to an even larger audience, including
enterprises not using PX-Store, and delivers the best in data
protection, data management and data recovery, that our customers
have come to expect."
Today's news follows a year of tremendous growth for Portworx,
heightened by its acquisition by Pure Storage in September.
