StorageOS, a leading provider of
cloud native,
software-defined, persistent storage
for Kubernetes, today announced V2.0. By deploying the StorageOS container, the
smallest container footprint in the industry, enterprises can run stateful
workloads with Kubernetes in production at scale.
"Trends in
the cloud native market have shown that users want to run hyper-converged
and/or multiple-cluster Kubernetes environments with the underlying storage to
support cloud native workflows and stateful applications," said Alex Chircop,
CEO and CTO at StorageOS. "V2.0 has been enhanced to meet these trends in the
rapidly evolving Kubernetes market.
In support
of cloud native storage adoption, StorageOS has experienced consistent month on
month growth with over 3,000 deployed clusters in the last year. It signifies
the increased demand for cloud native storage for Kubernetes.
Chircop
continued, "Our growth in deployed clusters points to the maturing Kubernetes
market. We see users running multiple-cluster deployments in various patterns
or bigger clusters with more nodes. StorageOS is used to seamlessly scale to
support large environments with predictability for replication and
failover."
StorageOS
V2.0 includes:
- StorageOS Delta
Sync
- reduces the time to recovery allowing rapid cluster convergence by only
replicating the missed data to the node.
- Enhanced
scalability
- volumes and replicas are tightly coupled and behave as semi-independent
units where decisions can be made independent of the rest of the cluster.
Users can scale Kubernetes clusters while maintaining predictable
performance and recovery.
- Secure by default
- designed
from the ground up to enable security at every layer of the stack, V2.0
improves security with encryption in transit. Traffic between nodes is
encrypted and authenticated.
- Performance improvements - StorageOS V2.0
performance improvements help enterprises improve the overall performance
of stateful applications.
Designed to run on any Kubernetes platform (in
the cloud, on-premises or a hybrid), StorageOS offers self-service cloud native
storage to simplify deployment and workflows required of complex and dynamic
application deployments. StorageOS is designed to cope with unpredictable
failure scenarios common in Kubernetes deployments.
