Pure Storage, an award-winning storage provider that delivers storage as-a-service in a multi-cloud environment, has announced the launch of Portworx Data Services, the industry’s first Database-as-a-Service Platform for Kubernetes.
Complex Operations
Modern applications are potentially composed of hundreds of microservices, often supported by one or more data services. Managing these services is complex, and the issue is augmented further by the number of database instances across environments, availability zones and clouds, all of which have varied requirements. DevOps teams spend a lot of time fire fighting issues with deployments and operations, instead of delivering new features.
The industry’s first Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) Platform for Kubernetes, Portworx Data Services delivers automated DBaaS management to solve these problems and more. DevOps engineers can easily deploy a managed, production-grade data service on Kubernetes from the industry’s broadest catalogue of options for SQL, NoSQL, search, streaming, and more, with fully automated Day-2 operations.
“As the market leader in data management for Kubernetes, we’ve built a foundation for our customers to deploy stateful applications on Kubernetes with confidence and ease. Portworx Data Services is the next leap forward in this journey. Now we don’t just give IT teams the tools needed to run data services in production, we are providing an as-a-service experience for the data services themselves so our customers can focus on innovation, not operations,” said Murli Thirumale, VP and GM, Cloud Native Business Unit, Pure Storage.
Key capabilities
Portworx Data Services delivers a series of key capabilities:
- Built upon Kubernetes storage and data management: Portworx Enterprise provides the building blocks for building production-grade data services on Kubernetes such as high availability, data protection, data security and mobility and creates and runs enterprise-class data services on-demand in any Kubernetes cluster.
- Supports the broadest range of data services: Users can leverage Portworx Data Services to deploy and manage a broad catalogue of stateful applications, providing solutions for SQL, NoSQL, search, streaming, and other workloads.
- Dramatically simplifies running data services on Kubernetes: Applications automatically support backup and restore, high availability, disaster recovery, data security, automated capacity management, and data migration.
- Provides consistent operational experience regardless of environment: Whether working in the cloud or on-site, DevOps teams will have the same DBaaS experience for all data services.
The Early Access Program is now open, general availability will come in early 2022.
