Accelerate is a full-service offering purpose-built to help Fortune 2000 companies adopt containerized technology for mission-critical enterprise applications. With these professional services and software offerings, the customers can bring containerized enterprise applications to production more quickly, without sacrificing the performance, reliability and security.

However, for mission critical applications that include data, enterprises are still struggling to get out of the experimentation phase and into full-scale production,” said Murli Thirumale, co-founder and CEO, Portworx. “Since Portworx’s inception, our vision has been to accelerate the enterprise transition to modern cloud-native application platforms. Now, we’ve packaged the learnings gleaned from working with dozens of Global Fortune 2000 companies in production to enable the rest to succeed in their ambitious transformation plans.“

In addition to the benefits of the Portworx Enterprise platform, Accelerate provides best practices, templates, and support for customers using Kubernetes to operate mission-critical data-rich applications running in containers.
