Breakthrough Award Winner: Rivian Automotive, Cloud Champion

Rivian Automotive, Cloud Champion winner, uses Portworx by Pure Storage as its Kubernetes data services platform to accelerate development with self-service deployment.

The Challenge

Traditional monolithic manufacturing databases and applications limit speed, scale, and flexibility. The resulting process inefficiencies can reduce throughput and risk system disruptions, costs, and delays. Downtime can delay production, even shutting down the assembly lines at significant cost. In addition, arduous processes for provisioning storage lengthen development cycles and impact time to market.

Business Transformation

Rivian unlocks greater speed, scale, and flexibility by containerizing applications. With Portworx as its data services platform, Rivian accelerates development and achieves operational efficiency, helping increase production. Developers spin up environments in minutes using self-service deployment and with improved visibility into shop machinery status, teams can reconfigure workflows as needed to keep production moving.

Accelerated Application Development with Portworx

  • Minutes instead of days to spin up development environments
  • Zero extra work with self-service deployments
  • Faster time to market with a modern application strategy
  • Less downtime during vehicle key provisioning

“Portworx plays a key role in supporting the containerization efforts that are driving an increase in production across the board. It helps us achieve significant operational efficiency as we scale our business and serve more customers.”
