Modernize your VMs and power the edge with Spectro Cloud and Everpure
Spectro Cloud manages the full Kubernetes and VM lifecycle, from the data center to thousands of sites. Portworx by Everpure protects the data underneath it, wherever it runs. Together, we’re the practical alternative to VMware and the storage array at the edge.

The pressure on platform teams
Years after the Broadcom acquisition, VMware renewals are still a hot board-level conversation.

Meanwhile, edge footprints are growing, driven by AI and new application innovations — and every new site is another Kubernetes cluster that needs to survive a WAN outage, without putting a field engineer in a truck.
From data center to edge, Spectro Cloud and Portworx by Everpure are partnering to solve these twin pressures.

The alternative to VMware for modern virtualization
Leaving VMware means replacing the functionality of vSAN, DRS, and Site Recovery Manager.
Spectro Cloud PaletteAI’s Virtual Machine Orchestrator (VMO) runs your existing VMs as first-class Kubernetes workloads through KubeVirt, with full cluster and platform lifecycle management and feature parity with VMware.
Portworx by Everpure supplies the enterprise storage and data services that make it production-ready: live migration on RWX Block volumes, synchronous and asynchronous DR, application-consistent backup with single-file restore, and encryption, under the same storage classes your containers already use.
Your VMs move without rewrites, and most importantly you’re not trading Broadcom’s lock-in for another proprietary hypervisor.
Resilient Kubernetes at the edge
Spectro Cloud makes it easy to provision and manage hundreds to thousands of edge clusters with zero-touch onboarding and zero-disruption upgrades, backed by robust security and automation. Applications keep running through a WAN outage and reconcile automatically on reconnect.
Portworx by Everpure completes the data layer: persistent storage that runs on commodity hardware with as little as two nodes plus a lightweight arbiter, survives node failures, and needs no storage array on-site. Synchronous replication can reach zero recovery point objective (RPO) and for remote sites, asynchronous disaster recovery delivers low RPO with policy-driven recovery.
Retail
POS, inventory, and AI/ML inference running across thousands of locations, VMs and containers on one platform, operating straight through WAN outages
Manufacturing
Distributed AI inference at the factory floor, where Portworx pools local NVMe across a small cluster and PaletteAI manages the lifecycle remotely
Telco and multi-site
Stateful streaming and messaging across hundreds of edge and regional sites, with Portworx replication holding data integrity and PaletteAI handling upgrades without service disruption
Healthcare and medical devices
Zero-downtime upgrades for life-critical edge AI, combining PaletteAI's low-risk updates with Portworx live migration
Ready to deploy
From hardware to your applications, Spectro Cloud and Everpure bring together a complete stack, drawing on the very best of the open source community and delivering a robust, tested and supported solution.
Check out our Portworx pack on our documentation site for more details on how we make it easy to deploy Portworx into your clusters.
