MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Portworx by Pure Storage, a Kubernetes Data Services
Platforms, today announced that it has teamed up with IBM to help
enable OpenShift-based data services to run in hybrid cloud
environments with performance, data protection, data security and
mobility on IBM Cloud Satellite. IBM Cloud Satellite, now
generally available, enables clients to run IBM cloud services on
any cloud, on premises, in multicloud environments or at the edge –
all delivered as a service. This flexibility will help bring cloud
capabilities to where client data resides, in the environment of
their choice, while focusing on consistency, user experience, and
security.
With its open architecture, IBM Cloud Satellite builds on IBM's
deep industry expertise and can help enterprises across a variety
of industries including telecommunications, healthcare, banking,
insurance, travel and transportation, transform into digital-first
organizations. The need to modernize mission-critical workloads is
intensifying. According to a recent IBM Institute for Business
Value report, 74% of CEOs interviewed during the COVID-19 pandemic
believe cloud computing will most help their organization deliver
these results over the next 2-3 years. We see a cornerstone of this
transformation is in edge computing. The continued
proliferation of edge devices is expected to shift the amount of
data that resides at the edge compared to within central data
centers. As this transition takes place, IBM Cloud Satellite is
designed to bring cloud services to where clients' data already
resides -- and help them bridge to where they want to
go.
Portworx by Pure Storage is part of IBM's ecosystem of
partners fueling hybrid cloud environments by helping clients
manage and modernize workloads from bare-metal to multicloud and
everything in between with Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's
leading enterprise Kubernetes platform. IBM Cloud Satellite is
engineered to give clients the flexibility to bring their
applications to environments where their data resides while
leveraging the security of IBM Cloud.1
IBM Cloud Satellite is designed to help clients address
security, privacy and data sovereignty requirements based on their
data governance requirements and address the client's local
regulations and compliance obligations by enabling them to deploy
and manage applications with consistency for specific markets. IBM
Cloud Satellite offers high levels of control over critical data
delivered via IBM Cloud – the industry's most secure and open
public cloud for business.1 Moreover, it offers high
levels of control over critical data and centralized policies to
ease migration. Those cloud services can therefore be co-located
with their apps and data
"With the pace of cloud adoption accelerating, companies are
increasingly turning to hybrid cloud to allow them to innovate more
efficiently, while maintaining high levels of security and
control," said Harish Grama, general manager, IBM Cloud. "To help
facilitate this momentum, IBM is investing $1B in its ecosystem initiative over the next
three years to support ecosystem partners and speed the development
of platforms such as IBM Cloud Satellite. Collaborating with
ecosystem partners like Portworx by Pure Storage can help offer a
wider set of clients new ways of bringing IBM Cloud to where their
data resides."
Portworx provides a uniform data services platform for
cloud-native applications running across hybrid cloud Satellite
locations. Data encryption of the Portworx data volume is designed
to secure data at rest, irrespective of the Satellite location of
these volumes whether on-premises or on the cloud. Additionally,
Portworx provides high availability and cross-cloud data protection
to run mission-critical stateful applications on Kubernetes and
OpenShift with the reliability, performance and security associated
with a traditional enterprise-class storage solution, as well as
the agility, speed and automation you expect for cloud native
applications. Customers can purchase Portworx from IBM.
"Portworx's collaboration with IBM on IBM Cloud Satellite
recognizes the value we place in providing IBM Cloud customers with
access to Kubernetes storage, data protection and data security
platform solutions, regardless of location," said Murli Thirumale, Vice President and General
Manager, Portworx by Pure Storage. "Whether it's on-premises, the
public cloud, or both, Portworx works across data center
environments to enable customers to embrace hybrid cloud for
demanding enterprise workloads."
