Case Study: Software Motor Company achieves application portability and high availability with Portworx on Kubernetes

Software Motor Company (SMC) - Customer Case Study

Software Motor Company (SMC) needed a highly available and portable storage solution for its stateful services running on Kubernetes. Their cloud infrastructure, which supports a revolutionary new electric motor, required the ability to run in both public clouds and future private customer deployments. They also needed to ensure zero data loss and high service availability to prevent critical failures for clients, such as pharmaceutical companies. To address this, they turned to the vendor Portworx for its cloud-native storage platform.

Portworx provided a Kubernetes storage solution that delivered automatic data replication across availability zones, ensuring high availability and data durability. This allowed SMC to run stateful services like Kafka with confidence, knowing a node or volume failure would not result in data loss or downtime. As a result, SMC achieved the application portability they required for future customer deployments while securing their critical operational data. Portworx provided a flexible foundation that could support any data service SMC might use in the future.
