Building resilient stateful Kubernetes platforms: storage, backup, and disaster recovery best practices – Webinar

At NIL, we help organisations design and implement resilient Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms that support stateful workloads with predictable performance, automated operations, and robust data protection. 

Running databases, AI/ML workloads, and business-critical applications on Kubernetes introduces a new set of operational challenges. Persistent storage, backup, and disaster recovery can quickly become complex, especially across hybrid and multi-cluster environments. 

At NIL, we help organisations design and implement resilient Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms that support stateful workloads with predictable performance, automated operations, and robust data protection. 

In this webinar, our experts shared practical experience from real-world projects and demonstrated how organisations can build enterprise-ready Kubernetes platforms using proven architectural approaches and technologies such as Portworx Enterprise, Portworx Disaster Recovery, and Portworx Backup. 

The challenge 

Many organisations have successfully adopted Kubernetes for stateless applications but still struggle when moving business-critical and data-intensive workloads into production. 

Common challenges include: 

• Designing a consistent storage strategy across on-premises and cloud environments. 
• Ensuring application resilience and predictable recovery during infrastructure failures. 
• Defining backup and disaster recovery processes that meet business requirements. 
• Managing persistent data and application dependencies at scale. 
• Establishing operational models that can be efficiently managed by platform and infrastructure teams. 

These challenges require more than just technology. They require architectural expertise, operational experience, and proven implementation practices. 

What you will learn 

• How to build resilient platforms for stateful Kubernetes applications. 
• Best practices for Kubernetes storage and data protection. 
• Approaches to backup and disaster recovery for business-critical workloads. 
• How to simplify operations and improve platform resilience. 
• Lessons learned from real-world Kubernetes and OpenShift projects. 

Agenda

• Welcome and the challenges of running stateful applications on Kubernetes
• Building resilient Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms: storage, backup, and DR considerations
• Portworx for enterprise Kubernetes: architecture and key capabilities
• Live demo: Storage automation, disaster recovery, and backup in action
• Key lessons learned and implementation best practices from the field
• Q&A

Why NIL 

NIL has extensive experience helping organisations design, implement, and operate enterprise Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms. 

Our expertise includes: 

• Kubernetes and OpenShift platform architecture and implementation. 
• Design of storage, backup, and disaster recovery strategies for stateful applications. 
• Integration with existing infrastructure, storage, security, and monitoring solutions. 
• Development of operational models, governance frameworks, and recovery procedures. 
• Knowledge transfer and enablement of platform, infrastructure, and DevOps teams. 

Using technologies such as Portworx, we help organisations accelerate cloud-native adoption while reducing operational complexity and improving business resilience.
