Portworx by Pure Storage, a solution provider of Kubernetes Data Services Platforms, has teamed up with IBM to help enable OpenShift-based data services to run in hybrid cloud environments with performance, data protection, data security and mobility on IBM Cloud Satellite.
IBM Cloud Satellite enables clients to run IBM cloud services on any cloud, on premises, in multicloud environments or at the edge – all delivered as a service.
According to a recent IBM Institute of Business Value 74% of CEOs interviewed during the pandemic believe cloud computing will most help their organisation deliver these results over the next two to three years. The continued proliferation of edge devices is expected to shift the amount of data that resides at the edge compared to within central data centres.
Portworx by Pure Storage is part of IBM’s ecosystem of partners fuelling hybrid cloud environments by helping clients manage and modernize workloads from bare-metal to multicloud and everything in between with Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's leading enterprise Kubernetes platform.
IBM Cloud Satellite is engineered to give clients the flexibility to bring their applications to environments where their data resides while leveraging the security of IBM Cloud.
“With the pace of cloud adoption accelerating, companies are increasingly turning to hybrid cloud to allow them to innovate more efficiently, while maintaining high levels of security and control,” said Harish Grama, general manager, IBM Cloud. “To help facilitate this momentum, IBM is investing $1B in its ecosystem initiative over the next three years to support ecosystem partners and speed the development of platforms such as IBM Cloud Satellite.
“Portworx’s collaboration with IBM on IBM Cloud Satellite recognizes the value we place in providing IBM Cloud customers with access to Kubernetes storage, data protection and data security platform solutions, regardless of location,” said Murli Thirumale, Vice President and General Manager, Portworx by Pure Storage.
“Whether it’s on-premises, the public cloud, or both, Portworx works across data centre environments to enable customers to embrace hybrid cloud for demanding enterprise workloads.”
