Operational Impact
The use of containers and the implementation of Portworx for persistent storage significantly improved the operational efficiency of Pyvotal Solutions. The company was able to provide a more reliable and high-performance platform using fewer resources, meeting the demands of their cost-conscious customers. The flexibility of containers allowed them to easily manage the environment for their customers, providing a complete managed solution for their applications. The use of Rancher for managing the containers and Portworx for persistent storage simplified the management process, allowing the company to focus on what they are good at. The solution also enabled them to provide services for both stateful and stateless applications, catering to a wider range of customer needs. | |
Quantitative Benefit
More efficient use of resources by running many containers on a server, reducing underutilization. | |
Cost savings by using bigger-sized machines with more CPU and memory, and running more containers on fewer servers. | |
Improved performance with Portworx volumes using a replication factor of three, which was found to be much faster than EFS. | |
