Summary

To lower costs and accelerate software deployment for clients, DataScan decided to migrate from virtual machines to container clusters orchestrated by Kubernetes. Portworx provides persistent volumes needed to sync Kubernetes clusters and maintain strong disaster recovery practices.

Challenges

While the Kubernetes container environment improves scalability and maintainability, DataScan also needed to move data freely to maintain its strong disaster recovery SLAs which involved sustained testing and data center migration every six months.
