Case Study: KPN achieves sovereign self-service Kubernetes storage with Portworx

KPN cuts restore times from hours to minutes with Portworx

KPN needed to provide a robust, on-premises Kubernetes platform for its diverse internal and external customers. Their primary challenge was delivering resilient persistent storage for demanding workloads like databases. Initially using homegrown tools led to inefficient manual processes, especially for backups and restores, which could take hours or even days and required customers to contact the KPN team for assistance, creating operational bottlenecks.

By partnering with Portworx, KPN integrated its solution to create a self-service platform. This empowered customers to manage their own storage provisioning and perform data recoveries in minutes without intervention. The solution provided by Portworx resulted in dramatically faster restore times, gave customers the freedom to run diverse workloads confidently, and allowed KPN to maintain a sovereign, scalable infrastructure.
