Stuck on proprietary Storage orchestration

Spectrum Scale file-system structures and cluster tie-breakers create migration complexity.

HCI consolidation forced by vendor standardization

Standardizing on Pure Storage hardware means escaping Fusion’s HCI lock-in.

Dissatisfied with legacy support

IBM Storage Fusion support no longer meets your reliability or response needs.

IBM Storage Fusion HCI → Portworx by Pure Storage migration — your questions answered

Can I migrate from IBM Storage Fusion HCI to Portworx by Pure Storage?+

Yes. It’s a well-understood project. We migrate your data and workloads from IBM’s Spectrum Scale to Portworx, a Kubernetes-native Storage layer. Your critical databases stay safe throughout.

What about Spectrum Scale file-system structures and cluster tie-breakers?+

We ensure your legacy IBM Storage Fusion engine remains under VENDOR support as long as your contract is active. If your renewal lapses before completion, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues—so you can finish on your own timeline.

How do you handle proprietary Storage class parameters?+

Our senior engineers have deep experience with these proprietary elements. We handle them as part of the fixed-scope engagement—no surprises.

How long does the migration take and what does it cost?+

Most migrations complete in 3-5 months with 2-3 senior consultants. Budget ranges from $80,000–$380,000, depending on scope.

Move to Portworx. Keep Fusion Supported.

Your critical Kubernetes workloads deserve more. Move to Portworx by Pure Storage for native Storage orchestration. We keep your legacy IBM Storage Fusion HCI supported throughout—no risk, no rushed cutovers. After migration, our Portworx Enterprise Storage administration and container performance audits ensure your new environment runs at peak efficiency.
