Pure Storage and Red Hat Accelerate Modern Virtualisation Adoption
Pure Storage and Red Hat today announced 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.
The collaboration aims to deliver a single platform for deploying, scaling, and managing modern applications and a single control plane for virtual machines (VMs) and containers.
The optimisation comes as enterprises increasingly move applications to containers to speed and scale deployment while still significantly invested in large traditional application footprints that run in VMs. Supporting multiple platforms based on both VMs and containers can be cumbersome and expensive, often exacerbated by the need to re-architect VM-based applications for compatibility with modern frameworks.
Portworx by Pure Storage and Red Hat OpenShift, through Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation, supports 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.
The integration brings enterprise-grade data management capabilities to Red Hat OpenShift customers, providing 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, simplified and more consistent development and management, and flexibility to deploy VMs and containers anywhere.
“Enabling integration for Portworx on Red Hat OpenShift represents a pivotal advancement in modern IT infrastructure representing the modern storage and compute building blocks, respectively,” said Murli Thirumale, GM, Portworx by Pure Storage. “Our collaboration with Red Hat not only accelerates application development and deployment but helps drive enterprise reliability and operational flexibility across complex, hybrid cloud environments.”
“Portworx offers enterprise-class storage capabilities such as high availability, performance, backup and disaster for both VMs and containers running in Red Hat OpenShift,” said Mike Barrett, vice president and general manager of Hybrid Platforms, Red Hat. “Together, we are providing a powerful solution for enterprises seeking to modernise their application development without the complexities of managing disparate development platforms.”
According to a recent survey, 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. The integration of Portworx and Red Hat OpenShift arms enterprises with the tools they need to seamlessly integrate containers and VMs on a unified infrastructure while driving efficiency, agility, and significant cost savings.
