Challenges

Ford Motor Company needed persistent storage management in its Kubernetes environment to ensure the business continuity of its stateful cloud native applications. This put a burden on developers that impeded productivity, forcing them to spend extra cycles coding for storage operations. To meet the demand for faster innovation, the company needed to accelerate developer velocity while maintaining strict quality and cost control.

“At the end of the day, what we are talking about is enablement of developers and velocity of delivering services at a particular price point and at a particular quality. . . There's hardly anything we can do in Kubernetes without having persistent storage and that is what has brought us together with Portworx.”

Portworx takes care of managing persistent storage, supporting business continuity and accelerating time-to-value while protecting Ford’s reputation for quality. Portworx modernizes the application stack, improving developer experience and increasing productivity.

“Ao tirar da jogada a questão da capacidade, a Pure Storage permite que sejamos muito mais ágeis na resposta para nossas equipes operacionais.”
“Dependendo dos projetos em andamento, nossos requisitos de volume de armazenamento podem variar rapidamente de zero a 200 TB, e vice-versa. Nossa infraestrutura deve estar apta a se adaptar corretamente. Isso significa que não temos que pagar o resto da vida pelos dados que usamos apenas ocasionalmente.”
