Portworx and Spectro Cloud for Resilient Edge Operations

Spectro Cloud Palette is a full-stack Kubernetes management platform that operates at the cluster and fleet lifecycle layer, automating provisioning, lifecycle management, and operations across distributed infrastructure. It manages the stack from OS to application across hundreds or thousands of locations, with centralized control and local resilience when connectivity is limited or lost.

Portworx provides the enterprise data layer for the applications and virtual machines running on those clusters, delivering persistent storage, data protection, high availability, and data mobility for both containers and VMs.

Together, Portworx and Spectro Cloud give organizations a practical way to deploy and operate modern applications at the edge without adding storage arrays, proprietary hypervisors, or site-by-site operational overhead.

Unify Data for VMs and Containers

Manage data for VMs and containers in a K8s-native way. Portworx delivers data management beyond CSI, while Spectro Cloud reduces the management complexity that grows with every cluster.

Featured Applications

Enterprise Storage for Kubernetes Deployments at the Edge

Traditional storage solutions for the edge require either enterprise hardware on-site (expensive) or central connectivity (unreliable). Neither works at scale.

Spectro Cloud Palette manages hundreds to thousands of edge clusters with low-touch provisioning and zero-disruption OTA updates. Portworx completes the story at the data layer: persistent storage that runs on commodity hardware, survives node failures, and operates without a storage array in a server closet.

The Alternative to VMware for Modern Virtualization

Enterprises migrating workloads from VMware to KubeVirt need a production-ready stack, not just a new hypervisor.

Spectro Cloud Palette’s Virtual Machine Orchestrator (VMO) capability provides Kubernetes platform and cluster lifecycle management.

Portworx provides the enterprise storage and data services needed for production-readiness at scale.
