Different Clouds, Different Operational Realities
Whether your workloads are already in the cloud or headed there, running them consistently is another challenge. Every cloud and region brings different regulatory and data residency requirements, connectivity constraints, and cost levers.
Consider a global bank running the same payments application in Europe and Australia. Both are in the cloud, but each has different requirements for where data lives and how it is recovered. The result: the same app, with two different operations.
As teams deploy workloads on EKS, AKS, or GKE, each tool brings its own policies, runbooks, and audit trails. Add another cloud or region, and the complexity multiplies, along with unforeseen costs and risk. Portworx gives you one data platform to manage applications across clouds and regions, using the cloud storage you already have.
One Data Platform for Every Cloud
Portworx gives you a consistent Kubernetes data experience for containers and VMs across public clouds, on-premises, and at the edge. Manage storage operations through a single interface, wherever your applications run.
Lower Cloud Spend
Make more efficient use of cloud storage and compute with thin provisioning, storage pooling, and higher workload density.
Consistent, Resilient Operations
Simplify storage provisioning, replication, backup, and disaster recovery with consistent workflows across your environments while applying the protection each application needs.
Data Portability and Control
Place and protect data to support regional requirements, and move applications and data between clouds and on-premises environments as your needs change.

One Data Platform Across Any Cloud
Cloud Storage Ties Capacity to Performance. Portworx Doesn’t
Every cloud ties attach limits to the instance, so you add nodes for storage while their compute sits idle. Portworx pools storage underneath and attaches up to 1,024 volumes per node. Volumes are thin-provisioned, and Autopilot grows them by policy as data is written. You pay for what’s written, not for what you provisioned.
One Policy, One Runbook for Every Data Operation
Today every data operation lives in its own tool, on every cloud. Portworx gives you identical APIs, policies and workflows on EKS, AKS, GKE and OpenShift. Adding a cloud no longer means rebuilding storage operations from scratch. Keep your existing stack, including Prometheus and Grafana, and add one consistent data layer.
Protect Data Across Zones, Regions and Clouds, With One Policy
Synchronous, topology-aware copies across availability zones fail over in seconds. Async DR protects volumes and Kubernetes resources across regions and clouds. App-aware backups restore into any cloud or on-prem cluster. One policy and one runbook work everywhere. One customer cut failover from 90 minutes to under 5.
Regulators Moved From Promises to Proof
Portworx places every copy by policy, not by whoever built the cluster. Set it once, and every cluster and every copy follows it. When the rule changes, the move takes days, not a project: Portworx moves the workload, its data and its Kubernetes objects to another region or cloud.

Portworx runs on the storage you already use in each cloud: EBS and instance store on Amazon EKS, Azure Disk and local NVMe on Azure AKS, and Persistent Disk on Google GKE. It also runs on Red Hat OpenShift on AWS and Azure (ROSA and ARO). Deploy it from the AWS, Azure and Google Cloud marketplaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Portworx work with Amazon EKS, Azure AKS and Google GKE?
Yes. Portworx runs on EKS, AKS and GKE, as well as Red Hat OpenShift on AWS and Azure, on top of EBS, Azure Disk, Persistent Disk or local NVMe. It’s available through the AWS, Azure and Google Cloud marketplaces.
Q: Does Portworx replace EBS, Azure Disk or Persistent Disk?
No. Portworx runs on top of your cloud block storage (and local NVMe or instance store) and adds a consistent data layer for Kubernetes: replication, backup, DR, mobility and capacity automation.
Q: How does Portworx protect data across availability zones and regions?
Synchronous, topology-aware replicas keep copies in multiple zones for fast failover. Async DR replicates volumes and Kubernetes objects to another region or cloud on a schedule you set.
Q: How does Portworx help with data residency?
Placement rules keep replicas, backups and DR copies in approved locations, encryption uses your own keys, and workloads can be migrated between regions and clouds when requirements change.
Q: How does Portworx lower cloud storage cost?
Volumes share one thin-provisioned pool, so you stop sizing every disk for peak or adding nodes to get past attach limits. Autopilot grows capacity before you run out. Portworx also makes the local storage in your instances durable enough for databases.
