Data management layer eases VMware exit for Kubernetes teams
Mouser Electronics moves from VMware to OpenShift using Portworx data layer.
In brief
Mouser Electronics moves from VMware to OpenShift using Portworx data layer. Mouser Electronics shifted from VMware to OpenShift by using Portworx's data management layer for seamless VM and container operations. Originally reported by SiliconANGLE.
Mouser Electronics shifts from VMware
Mouser Electronics, a major electronic components distributor, is moving workloads off Broadcom's VMware to run on OpenShift.
“It doesn’t matter if we’re running containers or VMs, we’re running it on the same foundation, which really works well”
Portworx data layer enables hybrid workloads
Portworx provides a data management layer that allows teams to run both VMs and containers on the same platform using OpenShift.
“Kubernetes provides that ubiquitous control plane for all of them, and that’s what customers are asking us for”
Waller's proof-of-concept cluster
Systems engineer Ronald Waller configured Mouser's proof-of-concept cluster with Portworx in under an hour using API keys and a user ID.
“I asked the storage guy what I needed from him, and he handed me a user ID and an API key”
Portworx integrates AI and VM capabilities
Portworx added AI and VM features at KubeCon in May to support teams migrating from legacy hypervisors.
“We have this great opportunity to do something new, and Kubernetes has that open API that allows you to be creative”
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA coverage
Waller and Owings discussed data management layers at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA during SiliconANGLE's livestreaming studio.
“The one thing that was missing was the same thing but for data”
Portworx sponsored segment
Portworx sponsored theCUBE's segment on the data management layer for VMs and containers at KubeCon.
“Portworx sponsored this segment of theCUBE”
Here's the gist
Mouser Electronics shifted from VMware to OpenShift by using Portworx's data management layer for seamless VM and container operations.
