Portworx has a cloud-native storage solution that solves non-negotiable business requirements like HA, data security, multi-cloud data management and DR in a fully-automated manner for Kubernetes-based applications.

“As companies continue to leverage containers and Kubernetes to transform business, we are here to help them realize the value of their container investments,” Tung said. “Our company was built with customer needs at the forefront, and this expansion underscores the demand we’re seeing for a cloud-native storage and data management solution that helps enterprises store, run and protect their mission-critical applications running in containers. We’re looking forward to expanding our existing customer base to meet critical enterprise needs at a global scale.“

“We are glad to partner with Portworx,” said Chen Jian, chairman, Futong. “Futong only selects partners who provide best-of-breed solutions in the industry, and Portworx fulfills a critical part of our mission to accelerate digital transformation for China-based enterprises.“

“We are excited for Portworx to join our existing portfolio of strategic partnerships and believe in its potential in the ASEAN and Hong Kong markets,” said Francis Choo, VP and chief country executive, Ingram Micro. “Containerized platforms and Kubernetes environments are becoming increasingly utilized by DevOps teams, among others, and Portworx’s solution can help secure the data, ensure availability and protection. With digital and technology transformation as two of our key priorities this year, we are confident this partnership is a strategic one that brings value to the customers.“

“The strengths of Portworx with Fortune Global 2000 companies and telecom service providers is exactly what our customers in the region are looking for,” said Michael Lin, VP, Syspower. “Portworx also fits very well with our product portfolio and company strategy focusing on the cloud-native space.”
