MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), an IT pioneer
that delivers storage as-a-service, today announced a strategic
engagement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for solution development
and enablement programs for Pure's Portworx solutions to help
enterprises move Kubernetes workloads into production.
Gartner predicts that by 2025, more than 85% of global
organizations will be running containerized applications in
production, up from less than 35% in 2019.1 Amazon
Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed service to run
and scale Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate,
and maintain a Kubernetes control plane or nodes. As container
adoption increases and more applications are being deployed in the
enterprise, these organizations want more options to manage
stateful and persistent data associated with these modern
applications.
Portworx by Pure Storage can bring a fully integrated solution
to customers for persistent storage, data protection, disaster
recovery, data security, cross-region and hybrid data migrations,
and automated capacity management for Kubernetes applications built
by developers.
- Portworx Enterprise gets right to the heart of what
developers and Kubernetes admins want: data to behave just like a
cloud service. These users want to simply request storage based on
their requirements (capacity, performance level, resiliency level,
security level and access, protection level, and more), and let the
data management layer figure out all the details.
- Portworx PX-Backup adds enterprise-grade point-and-click
backup and recovery for all applications running on Kubernetes,
even if they are stateless.
As part of its work with AWS, Portworx has also announced an
Early Access Program for Portworx Backup as-a-Service (BaaS) on
AWS. Portworx BaaS introduces a modern data protection control
plane to accelerate implementation of data and application recovery
objectives, delivering speed and simplicity to application owners
for safeguarding Kubernetes applications. Portworx BaaS is one of
the many as-a-Service offerings the company will deliver to its
customers in the future.
This three year strategic engagement is the latest step in
expanding the relationship between Pure Storage and AWS, and will
deliver a comprehensive Kubernetes platform for mutual customers
moving applications into production.
"Portworx and Amazon EKS deliver a truly better together
solution that tackles some of the biggest challenges organizations
face when bringing Kubernetes applications to enterprise scale,"
said Murli Thirumale, VP and General
Manager, Cloud Native Business Unit, Pure Storage. "We are
excited by the results we've seen from our many joint customers who
are using our solutions together today, and look forward to being
able to accelerate Kubernetes applications for many more as a
result of our expanded relationship with AWS, including our new
Portworx Backup as-a-Service offering on AWS."
"As more and more organizations adopt containers and Kubernetes
to build and modernize applications, solutions that accelerate
their journey to the cloud create significant value," said
Deepak Singh, VP Compute Services,
AWS. "We are excited to work with Portworx to provide customers
another option for backup and data management on Amazon EKS."
"As demand for healthcare workers skyrocketed, we needed to
rapidly deliver new digital tools that better serve our customers,
who count on us to provide more than 30% of the temporary medical
employees in the United States. We
started by migrating most of our technology infrastructure on AWS
and adopting Kubernetes to develop, test, and deploy new
applications, but we needed a storage layer that was as flexible as
the other elements of our cloud-native stack," said Reed Glauser, Director of Engineering, CHG
Healthcare. "Portworx added the capabilities to Amazon EKS we
needed, enabling us to optimize and automate our storage
management, spin up new clusters and migrate seamlessly, and
significantly accelerate and streamline our cloud development life
cycle."
