Cloud native storage and data management for Kubernetes

GE’s Predix is the leading platform for the Industrial IoT, supporting GE’s core business verticals such as aviation, power and healthcare, as well as the manufacturing space,” said Darren Haas, head of platform engineering, GE Digital. “Portworx has been supporting our Predix Cloud container platform for over a year. We are now expanding Predix to run in our customers’ data centers, and following an initial positive experience with Portworx, PX-Enterprise will also provide the flexible cloud native storage layer for containers in those environments."

“There are a few critical areas in your stack where you cannot afford a failure. Storage is one such area. We evaluated open-source options for cloud-native storage, but they were not as stable for our high-performance use case. We chose Portworx because it is a stable, mature, container-native storage option with one of the most responsive engineering and support organizations I’ve ever worked with.” – Satya Komala, head of autonomous vehicle cloud and enterprise architecture, NIO

"We initially tried to run stateful services like Jenkins and MySQL on Kubernetes using AWS EBS for persistent volume storage, but we quickly ran into issues with stuck volumes that led to application downtime. After months of struggling, we moved to Portworx, which allowed us to continue to use EBS for underlying storage, but without any of the negative issues we had experienced. Plus, now our stateful apps run across availability zones, which leads to better uptime.” Keaty Gross, Engineering Manager, Systems, Vox Media
