**AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – March 24, 2026 —** Everpure (NYSE: PSTG), the company revolutionizing storage and data management, today announced new capabilities for Portworx Enterprise to support organizations running enterprise level VMs and containers in cloud, hybrid and on-premise environments.  These updates allow organizations to embrace modern virtualization, accelerating provisioning, simplifying automation, and saving time through a proven, enterprise-grade platform which has already migrated over a hundred thousand VM Volumes to Kubernetes.

### Industry background

Organisations that rely on virtual machines are increasingly re-evaluating their virtualization strategy and moving to Kubernetes to run critical applications. According to the [Portworx 2026 Voice of Kubernetes Report,](https://portworx.com/blog/kubernetes-enterprise-adoption-trends/) 74% of organizations plan to modernize and/or migrate their VMs to Kubernetes. Migrating at scale introduces challenges around performance, operational risk, and security. According to the Report, 56% believe backup, Disaster Recovery, and high availability are the most critical capabilities for any new virtualization platform. Organizations need a proven enterprise-ready platform that can run both traditional VMs and newer container-based applications and support migration at scale, while remaining secure, compliant and reliable.

### New Portworx Enterprise capabilities

New capabilities delivered by Portworx Enterprise provide comprehensive services for data storage, governance, and security that make it possible to migrate and run VMs on Kubernetes at enterprise scale. The solution is already running over a hundred thousand VM Volumes on Kubernetes seamlessly across on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments and enterprises are already using it as a foundational platform to power successful Kubernetes deployments. Portworx Enterprise now provides:
