PDS platform overview

Portworx Data Services, also known as PDS, is part of the Portworx platform that offers a comprehensive and automated platform designed to simplify the deployment and operation of managed, production-grade data services on Kubernetes. This solution is tailored for businesses seeking to leverage Kubernetes for their data management needs without the complexities traditionally associated with setting up and managing such environments.

At the core of PDS is a user-friendly interface that enables users to deploy a wide array of data services with just a few clicks. This platform automates the intricate processes involved in configuring, scaling, and securing data services, making it possible for users to focus on their core business operations rather than on the underlying infrastructure.

With PDS on Portworx platform, organizations can take advantage of a fully managed solution that includes the setup and maintenance of their data services, ensuring they are always available, secure, and performing optimally. Operators can set up granular access control to namespaces, backup locations, credentials and other resources using Projects. This is particularly beneficial for production environments where reliability, security and performance are critical.

Moreover, PDS is built to operate seamlessly on Kubernetes, offering a scalable and flexible foundation that can accommodate the evolving data needs of modern applications. Whether it's deploying a database, a messaging queue, or any other data service, users can easily select the services they need, configure them according to their specific requirements, and get them up and running in no time.
