According to the GigaOm Radar Report for Enterprise Kubernetes Storage, “Pure is now in a position to offer the most complete set of features for Kubernetes storage on its own as well as third-party storage arrays,” as a result of its “strategic acquisition of Portworx” and “the swift integration of Pure Storage Orchestrator in Portworx Essentials,” the freemium offering of Portworx Enterprise, available to all Pure Storage FlashArray and FlashBlade customers. The report highlights the ability for customers to “get acquainted with the full Portworx experience” using Portworx Essentials without added costs, as well as Portworx’s “excellent” data efficiency, management and monitoring capabilities. Pure Storage received the highest scores among all criteria and evaluation metrics in the analysis.
GigaOm’s companion report on Cloud-Native Kubernetes Data Storage claims that, Portworx “remains the gold standard in cloud-native Kubernetes storage for the enterprise.” The report identifies the core strengths of Portworx including “outstanding data management capabilities, unmatched deployment possibilities, and superior management features.” Across criteria and evaluation metrics, Portworx was ranked by GigaOm as a “strong focus and perfect fit” in advanced data services, performance, multitenancy, security, monitoring and alerting analytics, as well as architecture, scalability, flexibility and ease of use.
“Kubernetes adoption has grown exponentially to the point where it is now the dominant container orchestration tool. Over the past year, as companies fast-tracked their Kubernetes environments into production, they looked to advanced solutions like Portworx by Pure Storage. The offering’s continued position as an Outperformer in this year’s Radar reports is a testament to the completeness of its platform, strong enterprise-grade capabilities and excellent manageability.” —Â Enrico Signoretti, Senior Data Storage Analyst, GigaOm
