help Portworx FAQ

What does Portworx do inside Kubernetes?

Portworx provides cloud-native storage and data services for Kubernetes workloads. It is used for persistent volumes, replication, backups, disaster recovery, and database mobility.

Is Portworx mainly for migrating databases to AWS or Google Cloud?

Migration is one use case, but Portworx is broader than a one-time cloud migration tool. It helps run stateful systems such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Cassandra on Kubernetes across clouds.

Who owns Portworx?

Pure Storage acquired Portworx in 2020. That made Portworx part of a larger enterprise storage company rather than a standalone Kubernetes startup.

How is Portworx different from CloudEndure?

CloudEndure was best known for server migration and disaster recovery into AWS, while Portworx focuses on Kubernetes-native data management. If the workload is already containerized with persistent volumes, Portworx is the more relevant category.
