Portworx & Red Hat Hands-on Labs Register Now

When T-Mobile revolutionized its application development environment with Kubernetes and needed persistent storage for stateful applications, Portworx by Pure Storage was the clear winner.

The Challenge

T-Mobile needed an intuitive way to safely store stateful data and perform routine maintenance without impacting developers, who wanted the benefits of containerization for all applications without dependence on the platform team. T-Mobile wanted to support both containers and virtual machines regardless of platform, and the solution had to be reliable, scalable, and high performance to gain developers confidence and increase their velocity.

Business Transformation

The first and largest nationwide 5G network provider, T-Mobile embraced Kubernetes to increase the bandwidth of its many application teams developing both internal and customer-facing apps. Using Portworx by Pure Storage for stateful data storage, T-Mobile now has a scalable development environment with several hundred clusters, tens of thousands of nodes, and a track record of performance and availability. Portworx makes it simple for developers to operate independently, with self-service access to persistent storage for containers and virtual machines.

A Highly Reliable Data Platform

  • Accelerates application development with self-service for developers
  • Provides highly reliable data platform even during maintenance
  • Reduces replicas without slowing down storage workloads
  • Runs flexibly for containers and VMs
  • Enables thousands of T-Mobile developers to use Portworx every day with little documentation

“T-Mobile has partnered with Portworx by Pure Storage since the beginning of our Kubernetes journey. The majority of our applications now run within Kubernetes, and the efficiency we're getting compared to the architecture before is pretty amazing.”
