Challenges

Ford Motor Company needed persistent storage management in its Kubernetes environment to ensure the business continuity of its stateful cloud native applications. This put a burden on developers that impeded productivity, forcing them to spend extra cycles coding for storage operations. To meet the demand for faster innovation, the company needed to accelerate developer velocity while maintaining strict quality and cost control.

“At the end of the day, what we are talking about is enablement of developers and velocity of delivering services at a particular price point and at a particular quality. . . There's hardly anything we can do in Kubernetes without having persistent storage and that is what has brought us together with Portworx.”
