The Enterprise Data Platform Built for OpenShift
Portworx embeds storage and data management directly into the Red Hat OpenShift console, giving platform engineering teams a single operational model across edge, core, and cloud. Built in deep partnership with Red Hat across engineering, support, and services, Portworx enables enterprises to:
- Run VMs, containers, and AI workloads on OpenShift
- Automate Day-2 storage operations with self-service golden paths
- Protect data with zero-RPO disaster recovery and automated backup
- Control data residency and sovereignty across edge, core, cloud, and hybrid environments
Accelerate App Delivery
Reduce provisioning times by 90% and deliver applications 3× faster with automated self-service storage and database golden paths for developers.
Mission-Critical Resilience
Zero-RPO disaster recovery since 2019, pod recovery in <60 seconds, and application-consistent backup with immutability — built in from Day 1.
Lower TCO & Greater Flexibility
2.5×–6× lower resource overhead than alternatives. Run on any block storage, any K8s distro — zero platform lock-in. Customers see 30–50% cost savings.
Manage storage, AI workloads, and data recovery natively within your Red Hat OpenShift console with Portworx by Everpure.
Featured Use Cases
Accelerate Cloud-Native Application Development
Portworx replaces fragmented open-source or vendor-supported CSI Plug in tooling with a single Kubernetes-native data platform for OpenShift — giving developers 100% self-service storage provisioning, 2–3× faster I/O, and automated capacity management, snapshots, and DR so platform teams can ship applications faster with fewer tickets and less complexity.
VMs on Kubernetes
45+ enterprises run VMs on Kubernetes with Portworx and OpenShift Virtualization — with over 120K volumes and 30K VMs deployed. Portworx delivers VMware-familiar workflows via Kube Datastore, 5× faster live migration, pod recovery in seconds, and the first per-VM storage visibility inside the OpenShift console.
AI Workloads
Portworx delivers topology-aware, high-performance storage that places data close to GPU compute — reducing latency and maximizing utilization for AI training, inference, and model serving on OpenShift AI. With near-NVMe-spec I/O via PX-Fast and built-in DR for AI pipelines, teams can run AI workloads confidently across on-prem and cloud.
Edge
Portworx for Edge delivers a lightweight 2-5 node deployment with the full enterprise feature set — purpose-built for retail, manufacturing, and distributed infrastructure on Red Hat OpenShift. Teams get data protection, DR, and encryption at every site with 5–10× lower resource overhead and up to 65% lower licensing costs than legacy hypervisors.
Native Enterprise Data Services for Red Hat OpenShift
Portworx integrates natively with Red Hat OpenShift to provide enterprise-grade storage, data protection, and data management for applications, virtual machines, and AI workloads. Installed and managed through a Kubernetes Operator, Portworx is deployed directly on OpenShift worker nodes and uses Kubernetes-native constructs to deliver persistent storage, automation, and resilience for workloads running on OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization. This integration enables teams to manage VM and container data consistently through the OpenShift platform, while Portworx provides availability, performance, backup, and data mobility across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
