Portworx is set to launch Portworx Enterprise 3.3, expanding its Kubernetes-native data management platform to support virtual machine (VM) workloads at enterprise scale. This update allows organizations to unify VM and container storage operations on Kubernetes, reducing complexity while delivering high performance, resiliency, and cost efficiency.

The new release helps enterprises avoid costly and time-consuming workload migrations by enabling them to run VMs on Kubernetes indefinitely. Organizations can refactor or build new cloud-native applications on their own timeline—potentially achieving 30%–50% cost savings compared to traditional virtualization platforms.

Portworx Enterprise 3.3 also simplifies data workflows by enabling teams to manage both containers and VMs through a single workflow, eliminating the need for multiple tools or siloed processes. Its storage-agnostic design supports Pure Storage, non-Pure Storage, and hybrid environments, offering maximum flexibility for infrastructure teams.

As a solution purpose-built for Kubernetes, Portworx continues to deliver the scalability, automation, and self-service capabilities required for cloud-native environments. With this release, Portworx aims to solidify its position as the standard for storage and data management across all Kubernetes workloads—VMs and containers alike.
