Everpure has announced new capabilities for its Portworx Enterprise platform, aimed at helping organizations modernize virtualization by running both virtual machines (VMs) and containers seamlessly on Kubernetes across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premise environments.
The latest enhancements reinforce Portworx’s position as a key enabler of modern virtualization strategies, as enterprises increasingly shift from traditional VM-based infrastructure to cloud-native platforms. According to industry insights, a growing majority of organizations are planning to migrate or modernize their VM workloads using Kubernetes, driven by the need for agility, scalability, and operational efficiency.
Portworx Enterprise, developed by Portworx, already supports over a hundred thousand VM volumes running on Kubernetes, demonstrating its ability to handle enterprise-scale workloads. The platform now introduces a unified storage and data management layer designed to simplify operations across both containers and VMs, enabling organizations to manage diverse workloads through a single interface.
“With over a hundred thousand VM volumes already deployed, we’re not just enabling modern virtualization we’re delivering it at scale.”

Key updates include enterprise-ready support for running VMs alongside containers, enhanced automation frameworks, and integrated security capabilities. The platform also provides tools such as VM readiness assessment for performance validation and frameworks built around KubeVirt to facilitate large-scale migrations.
Security and governance remain central to the new capabilities. Portworx integrates encryption, policy-driven data controls, and support for secure, air-gapped environments, while also offering enterprise-grade backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity services. These features are critical as organizations navigate the complexities of migrating mission-critical workloads without compromising compliance or performance.
The platform also introduces enhanced governance visibility, allowing enterprises to monitor storage usage, enforce compliance policies, and maintain regulatory alignment across distributed environments.
Industry analysts note that the convergence of VMs and containerized workloads on Kubernetes requires robust data services and operational controls. International Data Corporation highlighted that platforms like Portworx play a crucial role in enabling this transition by delivering the necessary protection, governance, and scalability.
With these advancements, Everpure aims to bridge the gap between legacy virtualization and cloud-native architectures, providing enterprises with a streamlined, scalable path to modern infrastructure while supporting the growing demands of AI-driven and data-intensive applications.
