Veritas Technologies has introduced the next version of Veritas InfoScale, the company’s leading software-defined infrastructure availability solution, which will allow clients to deploy it as containers in native Kubernetes systems like Red Hat OpenShift.
InfoScale’s high availability, persistent storage, and storage optimization for stateful Kubernetes critical applications will be easy to supply with native deployment.
“Containerization is revolutionizing the data center, allowing applications to burst and shrink their processing capacity to reduce costs and deliver scalability,” said Karthik Ramamurthy, vice president of product management at Veritas.
He added, “However, many organizations are hesitant to bring the benefits of containerization to mission-critical applications that have historically relied on persistent storage. The Kubernetes-native deployment of InfoScale will deliver the features organizations need to migrate their most important applications into environments like OpenShift with confidence. This is a game-changer for companies that want to take the training wheels off their Kubernetes deployments and realize the benefits where they really matter.”
The evolution will begin with InfoScale 8, which will be available later this year and will enable enterprise customers and DevOps engineers to deploy the following InfoScale features as containers:
InfoScale 8 will also be the first time the product is available as a Red Hat certified container application and Red Hat OpenShift Certified Operator available in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog with single-click deployment.
“As containers and cloud-native applications become more crucial to enterprise digital transformation, our customers are seeking expanded choice in the technologies that support these environments and workloads,” said Joe Fernandes, senior vice president, Platforms Business Group at Red Hat.
Further said, “Veritas InfoScale 8 adds a certified option for customers that want additional layers of resiliency and storage optimization for their OpenShift environments. We’re pleased to collaborate with Veritas as part of our broad partner ecosystem, helping our customers to select the solutions that best meet their unique needs, all certified on the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform.”
Today’s announcement builds on other recent InfoScale, and Veritas NetBackup updates to support containerization, making Veritas the most comprehensive data protection provider across physical, virtual, cloud, and container environments.
