Pure Storage Recognized as a Leader in the 2023 IDC MarketScape

Santa Clara, CA – December 7, 2023 — Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technology and services, announced today that it was named a Leader in the inaugural IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Container Data Management 2023 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51367723, November 2023), designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of products that provide data and storage management capabilities for containers.

With Portworx®, Pure Storage has established an entirely new category of cloud-native storage with its Data on Kubernetes platform for any application, anywhere in the enterprise. The inaugural IDC MarketScape report for this market highlights, “Portworx’s main strength is the sheer range of options the platform offers, both in terms of how it can be deployed and the functionality within the product itself.” The report also noted, “Organisations that are running or looking to run mission-critical applications, databases, CI/CD tools, or AI/ML workloads in containers will want to consider Portworx by Pure Storage.”

Portfolio Highlights:

Portworx offers an unparalleled platform and fully integrated solution for customers running mission-critical applications in on-prem, hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Strengths identified in the latest IDC MarketScape assessment include:

  • Unique database-as-a-service capability that automates database deployment, day 2 operations, and data protection, with support for the most popular database applications
  • Storage performance features such as application I/O tuning, data locality, and an optimised I/O path for NVMe (PX-Fast)
  • Strong data availability capabilities: synchronous DR, multiple DR failover options, and ransomware protection through object lock
  • PX-Security that enables multi tenant authorization, authentication, and RBAC for PVs
  • Wide range of container orchestrator support, including Mirantis, Nomad by HashiCorp, IBM, and Oracle’s Kubernetes engines


Executive Insight:

“Portworx is well suited for most organisations looking for a comprehensive container data and storage management solution, but it aligns particularly well with those that are well underway on their container journey. The combination of multiple deployment options, wide support for container orchestrators, and managed Kubernetes services means Portworx can fit within nearly every organisation’s infrastructure.”

Research Manager, Storage and Computing, IDC

“As containers and Kubernetes enter mainstream IT deployments, enterprises are investing in platform engineering and demand a seamless platform with cloud-agnostic Kubernetes capabilities that support long-term innovation and flexibility. Portworx’s recognition as a Leader in the inaugural IDC MarketScape for Container Data Management underscores our commitment to provide global customers with a scalable, consistent cloud-native Kubernetes storage and management platform for any IT stack, further validating Pure Storage as the gold standard for data centre, cloud native and AI/ML workloads.” – Murli Thirumale, VP & GM, Cloud Native Business Unit, Pure Storage.
