Kubernetes changed all of us think about computing platform. We also need to change the way modern applications store data. Enterprises increasingly rely on digital services to reach customers, traditional companies are re-deploy their IT applications and services on Kubernetes. Kubernetes container portability and automation means we can benefit more quickly throughout the IT development / test and production life cycle, more reliable delivery of applications. At the same time, companies must recognize cloudy deployment is not just a supply strategy, but also a customer the most reasonable way of application delivery.
Traditional storage industry has not done enough work to solve the problem of K8S: container portability, K8S cloudy automation and delivery. Portworx First Enterprise Edition provides seamless high availability for large amounts of data K8S in workloads, whether they are local systems or workloads running in the public cloud, will provide seamless high availability. By Portworx, development teams can obtain the integrated scheduler, a complete data lifecycle management, and core production functions such as BYOK encryption and cloud backup.
Through the cooperation with those already outstanding customer application deployment on major public cloud platform or its own hardware platform, Portworx have mastered the complete data can be migrated, operational automation, and application containing a large amount of data delivered to cloudy deployment the true ability.
You can migrate and ease
By integrating control and K8S the way, PX-Motion is a lot of data workloads can bring full mobility. Now, similar convenience Kubernetes stateless workload brought about, as we have in the state database workloads for customers, stack analysis, machine learning and other types of applications to provide data services. Just a command, PX-Motion can move across the cluster and cross-cloud applications K8S, Kubernetes Portworx configuration and data volumes. 
PX-Motion features are:
Extended Capacity: transferring the lower priority application to the secondary cluster, the cluster key release capacity.
Blue-green Deployment: to test the new version of Kubernetes and Portworx through applications and data. This method uses the same blue-green cloud deployment method with a native application teams - now you can use it for your container infrastructure.
Clean installation: from Kubernetes to Portworx each infrastructure installation is a new installation, rather than in-place upgrade. Whether deployed locally or in the public cloud, a new installation provides a more stable infrastructure.
Dev / test: in an automated manner the workloads to upgrade from dev segment cluster. Thus, it eliminates the manual process of data preparation (These steps will affect test accuracy).
Migration: Migrating applications and data from the local clusters to deploy AWS, Google, Azure, IBM or elsewhere cloud hosting Kubernetes cluster. Meanwhile, in turn, support.
Maintenance: It can migrate the entire cluster applications and data in minutes, in order to facilitate the implementation of hardware maintenance services.
PX-Motion supports cross-cluster and cloud migration, while the PX-Central provides the necessary visibility and control interface to manage data migration. Administrators and application teams can be visualized on a per-application-level scheduling, control ongoing application state migration.
Moreover, PX-Central also simplifies the management of data volume workloads fundamentally. By using PX-Central, customers can span multiple clusters or cloud, to manage, monitor and metadata services.
The main function of PX-Central are :
Multi-cluster management the GUI : provides a unified management interface for all your container data requirements (including tracking capacity, configuration and monitoring).
Centralized configuration and scheduling : simple setup to complete critical data protection mechanisms, including the use of PX- Enterprise CloudSnap ™ complete snapshot and cloud backup.
Built-in Metadata Service : When using PX- Enterprise Edition eliminates the tedious process etcd own customer service and make it easier to manage the cluster.
Proactive monitoring : it has been configured to track and analyze metrics, alerts and exceptions, allowing the team to operate more efficiently on a large-scale configuration.
