Enterprise Storage Meets Kubernetes Agility

As part of the Enterprise Data Cloud, FlashArray + Portworx deliver a unified, high-performance container-native data management solution that simplifies how you manage and protect data across VMs, cloud-native apps, and AI. Portworx extends FlashArray’s enterprise-class performance and reliability with Kubernetes-native automation, elastic provisioning, and application-aware data protection – giving you a single cloud-like storage and data management experience for every workload.

Unified platform across workloads

FlashArray delivers enterprise performance while Portworx adds Kubernetes-native data services for VMs, containers, and AI.

Container-native automation on Pure

Portworx automates provisioning and scaling on FlashArray, eliminating manual storage operations for Kubernetes.

Application-aware resilience

FlashArray data services combined with Portworx HA and DR protect critical workloads across clusters and sites.

Consistent high performance at scale

FlashArray ensures low latency while Portworx enforces per-workload I/O control to prevent noisy neighbours.

Move stateful, business-critical applications to Kubernetes using Portworx on FlashArray. Portworx enables Kubernetes-native storage, data protection, and application mobility to support refactoring and replatforming, while FlashArray delivers the ultra high performance and reliability required for modern application architectures – allowing teams to modernize incrementally and with confidence.

Run virtual machines alongside containers on Kubernetes using Portworx on FlashArray. Portworx supplies enterprise-grade data services for virtualized workloads, including high availability, snapshots, and disaster recovery, while FlashArray delivers predictable high performance and efficiency – enabling a practical path beyond traditional hypervisors without sacrificing operational control.

Run AI workloads – such as feature stores, vector databases, training pipelines, and real-time inference – on Kubernetes using Portworx on FlashArray. Portworx delivers Kubernetes-native data services including automated scaling, I/O control, and application-aware protection, while FlashArray provides the consistent low-latency high performance and efficiency required for large-scale AI data processing.

A Unified Container-native Storage Solution for Modern Workloads

Portworx acts as the Kubernetes-native data services layer that orchestrates FlashArray storage for modern applications. Portworx dynamically provisions FlashArray volumes for Kubernetes workloads, applying policy-driven automation for capacity, placement, performance, and protection. FlashArray delivers consistent, low-latency NVMe storage and enterprise data services, while Portworx adds application-aware replication, snapshots, backup, and multi-cluster disaster recovery – creating a unified, container-native storage solution for VMs, containers, and AI workloads across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
