When Comcast wanted to improve reliability of its video-on-demand service, it created a next-generation infrastructure platform using Kubernetes and Portworx by Pure Storage. Comcast can now quickly identify and address issues, reducing failure rate to less than 1%. After the early success, Comcast expanded the platform into other geographies and business areas including voice, networking, advertising, IoT, and online apps.

Comcast’s Multi-year Journey with Kubernetes and Portworx

Paul Davis, Principle Engineer at Comcast, shares his insights on Comcast’s multi-year journey with Portworx.

With a customer base of 53 million subscribers, even a low failure rate could affect thousands of households. To address the problem, Comcast needed to modernize its video infrastructure, including persistent storage and monitoring, without adding management overhead.
