help Portworx PX-DR FAQ

Does Portworx PX-DR support both metro and wide-area disaster recovery?

Yes, Portworx PX-DR supports both metro DR for low-latency same-region failover and wide-area DR for cross-region or cross-cloud scenarios. This lets organizations choose a DR topology based on their recovery point objective (RPO) and latency requirements.

What Kubernetes platforms is Portworx PX-DR compatible with?

Portworx PX-DR works across major Kubernetes distributions including Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon EKS, Google GKE, and Azure AKS. Since Portworx was acquired by Pure Storage in 2019, deeper integration with Pure Storage infrastructure is also supported.

How does Portworx PX-DR handle failover for stateful applications on Kubernetes?

PX-DR coordinates the migration of both persistent volumes and Kubernetes application resources such as pods, deployments, and statefulsets during failover. This ensures that stateful workloads like databases can be recovered consistently on the target cluster without manual data synchronization.

What RPO can Portworx PX-DR achieve for containerized applications?

In metro DR configurations with synchronous replication, PX-DR can achieve near-zero RPO for containerized workloads. The actual RTO depends on your infrastructure and failover orchestration, but automated recovery processes help minimize downtime.
