Portworx by Everpure Recognized by Our Customers in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™

Organizations are converging on Kubernetes to run virtual machines, containers, and AI pipelines on a unified platform. The appeal of Kubernetes lies in its consistent Day-2 operations, scalability, and a common control plane for modern workloads. Increasingly, operations teams are looking for data management that aligns with this model by integrating natively into Kubernetes workflows, control planes, and engineering practices.

As organizations create new applications or move their apps from traditional VM-based environments to Kubernetes as containers or virtual machines, requirements for data and storage management, availability, and operational consistency fundamentally change. Many are also adopting Kubernetes to operate across multiple clouds, which introduces the need for consistent data management across hybrid and multicloud environments. Portworx by Everpure addresses this by delivering enterprise-grade, Kubernetes-native data services that provide performance, resilience, and portability across environments.

At Everpure, the validation of our solution that matters most comes from the people who use our technology every day. We’re incredibly proud to share that we’ve been recognized by Gartner Peer Insights™ as a Strong Performer in the 2026 Voice of the Customer for Container Management.

This year marks our first time being included for this market, making the recognition especially meaningful.

More organizations are running stateful, mission-critical workloads on Kubernetes, not just stateless applications. Therefore, IT teams are prioritizing automation of their day-2 operations, performance, and reliability of their applications, highlighting the need for:

• Policy-driven optimization and lifecycle management for data and storage, enabling developer self-service and simplified platform engineering
• Broad support for integration with GitOps, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and cloud-native monitoring solutions
• Application-centric storage operations optimized for performance and resilience.

This reinforces the need for a platform like Portworx that integrates natively with the Kubernetes ecosystem to provide metrics and policy driven automation with guardrails to improve operational efficiency at scale.

Enterprise-Grade Data Services for Kubernetes

Building modern applications on Kubernetes is a broad transformation that spans infrastructure, operations, and application architectures. Navigating this change introduces complexity, as organizations balance enterprise needs with new cloud-native paradigms for diverse workloads. Portworx helps customers extend enterprise-grade data management to Kubernetes production environments, including:

• Data protection and disaster recovery
• Consistent performance for databases supporting applications on Kubernetes
• Mobility of data across scalable clusters and environments

We also developed validated architectures, tooling, and production-ready frameworks that reduce risk and accelerate customer migrations, including support for COTS applications like ELK on Kubernetes.

Customer Experience and Satisfaction

As organizations plan long-term platform strategies focused on speed, hybrid/multicloud flexibility, and a strong AI foundation, platform consistency and usability become critical. Teams need solutions that can support VMs, containers, and AI workloads without adding complexity.

Portworx delivers a Kubernetes-native data management platform that runs consistently across any major cloud, storage, and Kubernetes distribution. By standardizing enterprise data operations, including snapshots, backup, DR, migration, and capacity management, Portworx gives customers the flexibility to place workloads where they achieve the best balance of performance, scale, cost, and compliance.

This approach reduces reliance on proprietary infrastructure, reduces costs long term, and helps organizations scale without introducing lock-in.

Looking Ahead

While we are thrilled with this recognition today, we remain focused on the future. The Kubernetes market is evolving rapidly, and we are committed to continuing our innovation to help our customers achieve even greater agility.

We want to extend a sincere thank you to our customers for their honest feedback and continued trust.
