Mountain View, Calif. – November 17, 2020 — Portworx by Pure Storage, the industry’s most complete Kubernetes Data Services Platform, today announced updates to its award-winning product for full-service data protection, PX-Backup. The latest release, PX-Backup 1.2, now works with any storage array or software-defined storage (SDS) solution that supports the Kubernetes CSI spec, including Pure Storage FlashArray and FlashBlade. This gives customers flexibility and choice across any environment, even if they’re not using PX-Store, Portworx’s own container-granular storage engine. Additionally, PX-Backup 1.2 integrates a new usage-based billing model priced at 20 cents/node/hour, making it the ideal choice for growing businesses who want the flexibility of a pay-as-you-go model. To validate this, Portworx was named a leader in the GigaOm Radar Report for Kubernetes Data Protection for providing “a highly scalable and flexible solution for Kubernetes data storage and management that works seamlessly across different on-premises and cloud environments”.
According to 451 Research, 53% of companies have application recovery point objectives (RPO) of less than 24 hours even for non-critical apps and data – demonstrating the criticality of backups for all enterprise applications. To solve this, Portworx released PX-Backup, a point-and-click backup and recovery solution for Kubernetes applications. PX-Backup provides IT organisations with an end-to-end backup solution for containerized applications capable of managing container data lifecycles, cataloging relevant metadata, improving visibility of data access, and enabling restoration of full Kubernetes applications. PX-Backup delivers true multi-cloud availability across both stateless and stateful Kubernetes clusters, supporting major block storage systems like Amazon EBS, Google Persistent Disk, Azure Managed Disks, VMWare Storage, Pure FlashArray and any other CSI-compatible storage system.
