Licensing Portworx
Enterprise applications running on Kubernetes have non-negotiable business requirements like high availability, data security, backup and disaster recovery, strict performance SLAs and hybrid/multi-cloud operations.
Since Portworx Enterprise does not compromise on these requirements by limiting features, licensing is very straight forward:
1) decide if you're going to use Portworx on VM's or Bare Metal
2) count the required worker nodes in your Production and Disaster Recovery environments
3) Purchase a base subscription & appropriate amount of Add-on licenses for each environment
Done!
