Pure Storage has snapped up Portworx, a Kubernetes data services platform for approximately $370 million.
The deal is Pure’s largest acquisition to date and the company’s deeper expansion into the fast-growing market for multi-cloud data services to support Kubernetes and containers.
Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO, Pure Storage said enterprises adopt cloud native strategies to advance their business and the acquisition marks a significant milestone in expanding our Modern Data Experience to cover traditional and cloud native applications.
Portworx is the Kubernetes Data Services Platform most used by Global 2000 companies to provide persistent storage, high availability, data protection, data security, and cloud mobility for containers deployed in hybrid cloud architectures. By combining Portworx container data services with Pure’s industry-leading data platforms and Pure Service Orchestrator software, Pure said it will provide a comprehensive suite of data services that can be deployed in-cloud, on bare metal, or on enterprise arrays, all natively orchestrated in Kubernetes. With Portworx, Pure delivers the industry’s most complete platform for every stage of the cloud native journey.
Portworx CEO Murli Thirumale said: “We are excited for the accelerated growth and customer impact we will be able to achieve as a part of Pure.”
