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.”

Satish Puranam

Technical Lead & Manager - Cloud, Ford Motor Company

With Portworx, developers can focus on building value in the Kubernetes environment without worrying about storage. 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.

"Pure Storage ci consente di essere molto più reattivi nei confronti dei nostri team operativi perché elimina la questione della capacità."
"A seconda dei progetti, i nostri requisiti di storage possono variare velocemente da zero a 200 TB e viceversa, quindi la nostra infrastruttura deve essere in grado di stare al passo. Ciò significa che non dobbiamo pagare sempre la stessa cifra per dati che usiamo raramente."
