Sheng Liang, Rancher Labs & Murli Thirumale, Portworx | KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe - Virtual
summary
Portworx claims to orchestrate storage and data for Kubernetes, providing HA, DR, backup and automation at container granularity so clusters scale past the tens-of-nodes problems to hundreds (and customers running at very large scale). Portworx reports 160+ customers and automates storage provisioning to remove manual storage-admin work. Longhorn is an open source block-storage engine donated to CNCF, rewritten in Go, now offering commercial support while intentionally remaining a lighter-weight, lower-barrier alternative to full enterprise storage.
