Kubernetes persistent storage is not a provisioning problem. It is an architectural coordination problem. CSI standardized how storage plugs into Kubernetes but did not eliminate operational fragmentation between the storage system, snapshot tool, backup product, and DR layer. The fix is structural. Collapsing storage, virtualization, and Kubernetes integration into one control plane removes the integration tax assembled architectures keep paying.
Infrastructure automation ROI disappoints when organizations spend more time maintaining automation than they save through it. Hardware refresh cycles, storage updates, and network changes force constant code rewrites on fragmented infrastructure. Unified infrastructure platforms eliminate the maintenance burden by leveraging architectural abstraction, preserving automation investments across hardware generations.
Making Persistent Storage for Production Kubernetes Attainable Containers have become highly popular among DevOps shops due to their advantages in the areas of agility, simplicity and scalability. These same qualities make them attractive candidates for hosting modern applications such as…
Serving Enterprise Data Management for Production Container Environments at Scale Containers have a role in enterprise data centers beyond their initial concentration in DevOps use cases. In order to support production workloads such as relational databases, the container environment must…
Application development is quickly changing from the old waterfall approach where applications were delivered once a year and all at once, to a more continuous development method where applications are delivered more frequently with more incremental changes between releases. The…
There is no doubt that production data is growing, but copy data is growing even faster. More data must be backed up as the stricter compliance landscape creates more comprehensive retention requirements, and copy data is being used to serve…
The goal of data protection is to protect the organization from outages. The scope of these outages can impact an application, a server, a storage system or an entire data center. IT faces the challenge of restoring the most recent…
And how to counter them Organizations are facing increasing businesses continuity and resiliency challenges in 2018. Much of these pressures – such as security threats, an increase in the number of mission critical applications, and data shifting to the cloud…
Organizations looking to adopt a Hybrid IT strategy are facing new challenges when it comes to protecting these environments. The single biggest challenge is that the application and its data can be on-premises or in the cloud without the data…
As the data center modernizes, new initiatives and trends are impacting the data protection process. In our webinar, “5 Key Trends that Could Challenge Your Data Protection Plan in 2018,” we discuss how things like Hybrid IT, Ransomware, application explosion,…
