Kubernetes storage and data management solutions integrated tightly with these platforms enable data agility across both containers and VMs, and allow organizations to reduce their VMware costs and footprint. [Learn More](https://portworx.com/modern-virtualization/) Portworx is a Kubernetes data services platform designed to provide persistent storage, data protection, disaster recovery, and other capabilities for containerized applications. While Portworx was designed from the bottom up to run on any storage platform, the massively parallel, high-performing, all-flash storage solutions from Everpure are the perfect hardware counterpart for your Kubernetes-powered apps. Together, Everpure and Portworx provide a complete data storage infrastructure solution that supports mission-critical and data intensive workloads, like databases, analytics, and AI/ML. [Learn More](https://www.everpuredata.com/knowledge/what-is-kubernetes.html) CSI (Container Storage Interface) plug-ins standardize how Kubernetes consumes storage but have important data management limitations. They focus mainly on basic volume lifecycle tasks such as provisioning, attaching, and deleting storage, and do not natively support advanced capabilities like application-consistent snapshots, backups, disaster recovery, cross-cluster replication, policy-driven automation, or deep observability. As a result, teams must rely on external tools to handle data protection, mobility, and resilience for production-grade stateful Kubernetes workloads, increasing operational complexity.
