Case Study: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama achieves 10X faster VM migrations with Portworx

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama makes VM migrations 10X faster with Portworx

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama needed to migrate their virtual machines to Kubernetes using OpenShift Virtualization but faced significant challenges. Their storage vendor's CSI driver was lagging behind OpenShift releases, which blocked upgrades and introduced issues with VM migrations. They required a storage-agnostic solution from a vendor like Portworx that could keep pace with OpenShift's rapid development cadence.

Portworx provided a storage-agnostic solution that preserved existing investments and resolved the critical CSI pain points. This enabled the customer to proceed with OpenShift upgrades and VM migrations, which Portworx made ten times faster. The team at BCBS of Alabama expects reduced overhead, simpler operations, and faster iteration, with strong support from Portworx being a key factor in the successful implementation.
