Pure Storage and Red Hat have introduced an optimisation for Portworx® by Pure Storage on Red Hat OpenShift to enable streamlined integration and provide enterprises with a more seamless path to modern virtualisation.
By delivering a single platform to deploy, scale, and manage modern applications, and a single control plane for both virtual machines (VMs) and containers, Pure Storage and Red Hat can help accelerate time to market and provide a consistent and flexible data experience.
Industry Significance:
Enterprises are increasingly moving applications to containers to speed and scale deployment. However, many enterprises remain significantly invested in large traditional application footprints that run in VMs. Supporting multiple platforms based on both VMs and containers is cumbersome and expensive, often exacerbated by the need to re-architect VM-based applications for compatibility with modern frameworks. This can slow development, create operational complexity, and hinder data visibility. In fact, according to a recent survey[1], more than 4 out of 5 (81%) of data management stakeholders are planning to modernise or migrate existing VM workloads to cloud-native, with 79% citing operational simplicity as a key driver for these plans.
Portworx by Pure Storage and Red Hat OpenShift, through Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation, support both containers and VMs, enabling customers to standardise end-to-end application modernisation at scale. With this latest optimisation and co-development, enterprises can run traditional virtualised applications side-by-side with modern containerised applications, streamlining operations, reducing costs, and bringing the entire application development process together.
News Highlights:
Portworx brings enterprise-grade data management capabilities to Red Hat OpenShift customers to not only migrate VMs to Red Hat OpenShift but also provide developers with a single, self-service portal to build, test, and deploy applications, with integrated support for storage, data, and the entire application lifecycle management. Benefits include:
Faster time to market with enhanced operational efficiency: Enterprises can improve time to production with self-service options for development teams to quickly migrate VMs, and apply cloud-native operational and development practices to VMs, accelerating time to value. Additionally, Portworx and Red Hat offer more cost-effective options for customers to shorten ramp-up time and Day 2 operations resulting in a remarkable estimated 63% cost reduction encompassing infrastructure expenses, licenses, and subscriptions when compared to alternatives.
Simplified, more consistent development and management: Together, Portworx and Red Hat help simplify the management of VMs and containers with a unified view, and a more consistent set of storage, data, and application management tools, creating better alignment between virtualisation admins and platform engineering teams.
Flexibility to deploy VMs and containers anywhere: Enterprises can modernise their VM-based applications by benefiting from the modern storage, data, and application management principles by integrating Portworx with Red Hat OpenShift. This enables enterprises with greater flexibility to deploy VM and containerised applications on any on-premises, cloud, hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructure while maintaining consistent storage and data services.
