  • Run containerized stateful applications that are highly-available (HA) across multiple nodes, cloud instances, regions, data centers or even clouds
  • Migrate workflows between multiple clusters running across same or hybrid clouds
  • Run hyperconverged workloads where the data resides on the same host as the applications
  • Have programmatic control on your storage resources

  • 5 nodes
  • 500 volumes
  • Cloud Drive provisioning
  • Failures across nodes/racks/AZ

For more information Click Here The Portworx Essentials license requires that your clusters be connected to the internet and send usage data to PX-Central. Portworx Essentials clusters connect with PX-Central once per hour to renew license leases. Lease periods last for 24 hours, ensuring that any temporary interruptions to your connectivity do not impact your cluster.
