Refreshed Portworx by Everpure redefines modern virtualisation

Everpure, the company changing storage and data management, has announced new capabilities for Portworx Enterprise to support organisations running enterprise-level virtual machines (VMs) and containers in cloud, hybrid and on-premise environments. 

The company said these updates allow organisations to embrace modern virtualisation, 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.

Organisations that rely on virtual machines are increasingly re-evaluating their virtualisation strategy and moving to Kubernetes to run critical applications, Everpure explained. According to the Portworx 2026 Voice of Kubernetes Report, 56% believe backup, disaster recovery, and high availability are the most critical capabilities for any new virtualisation platform. 

The report also said that 71% of organisations plan to modernise and/or migrate their VMs to Kubernetes. However, migrating at scale introduces challenges around performance, operational risk, and security. Ideally, organisations should use 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. 

The new capabilities delivered by Portworx Enterprise provide 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 have been using it as a foundational platform to power successful Kubernetes deployments. 

Feature highlights include:

- Enterprise-ready containers and VMs on Kubernetes: updates deliver a unified storage and data management layer for running VMs and containers. Built for Day 2 data operations, data management capabilities streamline workflows and coordination across any Kubernetes deployment.

- Repeatable frameworks and tooling: streamlining operational tasks with an open-source VM Readiness Assessment tool for scenario testing and performance readiness of VMs  

Validated frameworks for KubeVirt and running stateful commercial off-the-shelf applications, such as ELK on Kubernetes.

- Security built in: Portworx integrates security directly into the platform, from encryption and policy-driven data placement and access controls, to CISO expectations for air-gapped environments (Secure Boot), providing peace of mind.

- Enterprise-grade business continuity and disaster recovery for all workloads: app-aware, data protection, backup, and recovery services designed for mission-critical VM and container workloads.

- Governance overview: storage class-level monitoring on data storage, compliance, and location policies, providing regulatory alignment and audit compliance across on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments. 

By bridging the gap between traditional reliability and cloud-native agility, the latest Portworx Enterprise capabilities support customers to embrace modern virtualisation by adopting Kubernetes at speed and at scale, Everpure said. A proven-repeatable large-scale VM migration with validated architectures leads to time and budget savings, and a more streamlined experience for customers via a unified platform and automation. 

"The shift to modern virtualisation is accelerating. As VMs join AI and cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes as an industry standard, Portworx is delivering the performance, protection and governance required for demanding organisations, at global scale. With over a hundred thousand VM Volumes now deployed, we aren’t just promising a future-proof solution—we are already delivering it,” said Greg Muscarella, GM, Portworx by Everpure. 

"Organisations are increasingly exploring modern virtualisation approaches that bring VM-based workloads into Kubernetes environments alongside containerised applications. Successfully making this transition requires enterprise data services, protection, and governance capabilities. Platforms such as Portworx by Everpure can help support these operational requirements as organisations modernise their virtualisation infrastructure,” said Johnny Yu, Research Manager, Infrastructure Software Platforms, IDC.
