Ask Us Everything About Containers & Kubernetes
October 2 | Register Now Got questions about managing data on Kubernetes? Get answers. This month we're diving into containers and Kubernetes–key technologies for IT priorities like Cloud-native applications, AI data pipelines, and modern VMs. But as more databases and other critical workloads move onto Kubernetes, how do you deliver availability, performance, and data protection, without becoming Kubernetes experts overnight? See how Portworx® by Everpure helps you bring enterprise-grade data services to Kubernetes. You'll get an overview of how Portworx enables you to: Deliver Kubernetes-native persistent storage across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and edge environments Meet availability and recovery requirements with container-granular backup, disaster recovery, and high availability Improve storage efficiency with automated provisioning, capacity management, and dynamic scaling Give application teams self-service data services while maintaining control, security, and visibility Bring your questions for our experts, who are ready to discuss Kubernetes storage architecture, stateful workload migration, data protection strategies, and how to support container platforms with confidence.

The Containers Must Flow: Extending Kubernetes Principles to Your Data
July 7 | Register Now! Kubernetes (K8s) sits at the center of the known universe, steering the massive shift from legacy systems to next-generation applications and modern virtualization. In this vast desert of infrastructure, one truth remains absolute: they who control the data layer control the universe. For July 2026, your Kwisatz Haderach of hosts, Andrew Miller, invites mentat James McShane to explore these tectonic shifts—and why Portworx® is even more vital today than 5+ years ago when acquired by Everpure, formerly Pure Storage®, to be the ultimate k8s data layer. Here’s what we'll traverse on our journey: The path of the mentat James: From large-scale virtualization to massive K8s clusters, and even piloting K8s on autonomous drones (the ultimate hunter-seekers). The weirding way of modern tech: the explosion of new K8s developments with a focus on KubeVirt and how it’s reshaping modern virtualization trends. The litany against data loss: Core storage needs in K8s environments, the foundational Portworx design principles built to survive them, and why they matter when the sandworms of downtime strike. The voice of Portworx: New capabilities designed to conquer KubeVirt/VMware migrations, establish unified control planes, and shift your focus from rigid mechanics to pure intent (Imperative vs. Declarative)--dare we say, bending the infrastructure to your will.

SQL Server on Kubernetes - Faster, Safer Database Operations
April 16 | Register Now! Running SQL Server in containers can speed up provisioning and customization. But standalone containers lack the high availability and data services that enterprises require, making Kubernetes essential for resilient environments. Portworx® by Everpure extends Kubernetes with enterprise-grade data services—such as volume cloning—to reliably run stateful workloads like SQL Server and simplify database lifecycle management. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to modernize SQL Server while improving resilience, flexibility, and operational efficiency. Key Takeaways How to deploy and operate SQL Server on Kubernetes with built‑in resilience and scalability How to migrate SQL Server from Windows-based environments and explore KubeVirt as an additional deployment option How Portworx data services simplify SQL Server database management, testing, and recovery Register Now
