, /PRNewswire/ -- Red Hat Summit 2025 — Pure Storage® (NYSE:PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage technology and services, today announced Portworx® for KubeVirt - the first software-defined storage, virtualization-centric offering that provides a more cost-effective, low-risk approach for running VM workloads on Kubernetes using Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine. By combining Portworx by Pure Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine, enterprises can deploy and manage virtual machines (VMs) to containers more easily to optimize functionality, while lowering total cost of ownership. With the new VM-only offering from Portworx, customers can address their modern virtualization challenges with an optimized solution that makes migrating and operating applications in Kubernetes more accessible and provides a pathway to long-term application modernization. Cost optimization - Portworx customers using Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization have seen approximately 30% to 50% cost savings in the past year compared to their existing virtualization spend. Modernization on your timeline - Instead of needing to move everything to cloud-native, enterprises can continue to run applications in VMs on Kubernetes, while refactoring or creating net new cloud native applications based on their existing resources and transformation timelines. App & Data Flexibility - Portworx for KubeVirt, with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine, allows customers to plan their VM migration to Kubernetes infrastructure anywhere that Red Hat OpenShift runs, on-premises, on public cloud, at the edge, or in a hybrid deployment. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine is a streamlined solution that focuses exclusively on VM workloads, providing the proven virtualization functionality of Red Hat OpenShift to deploy, manage and scale VMs with greater ease. Portworx by Pure Storage brings enterprise-grade data management capabilities that, when combined with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine, help further simplify VM workload migration and management on a single, optimized platform. "Red Hat is the perfect partner for our mission as more companies are looking to go cloud-native. Many companies are leveraging Portworx with OpenShift to not only migrate and manage their workloads, but also power innovative application development. We are proud of the success from this Red Hat partnership and look forward to what the next year holds." - Ajay Singh, Chief Product Officer, Pure Storage "While organizations are increasingly migrating to cloud-native containerized workloads, many still rely heavily on virtualization solutions to support their public and private cloud environments.
