Today, StorageOS released version 2.0 of its leading
cloud native, software-defined,
persistent storage for Kubernetes into general availability. V2.0 has been
specifically designed to deliver lower times to recovery, as well as scale,
security and performance. The new version was created to assist organizations
that want to run hyper-converged and/or multiple cluster Kubernetes
environments.
StorageOS
platform provides the availability, management, performance and security for
users to run stateful workloads at scale - whether in the cloud, on-premises or
a hybrid. By delivering persistent storage to applications in Kubernetes
environments, it helps users achieve all the business benefits of containers
and orchestrators. Kubernetes users running deployments with multiple clusters
are increasingly turning to StorageOS for their storage requirements. As
Kubernetes clusters grow in size V2.0 also scales supporting the production of
stateful applications.
"All reports
point to the fact that enterprises are making the move to containers, but that
storage is still viewed as a key challenge impacting adoption and operations,"
commented Scott D. Lowe, ActualTech Media. "Users want to run hyperconverged
applications and/or multi-cluster Kubernetes environments with the underlying
storage to support cloud native workflows and stateful applications. StorageOS'
V2.0 has all the enhancements needed to meet these trends in the
rapidly-evolving Kubernetes market. Essentially, StorageOS eliminates the
problem with storage for stateful Kubernetes applications."
StorageOS
V2.0 improves resiliency in large clustered environments that experience more
transient failures. Its scalable architecture is designed to cope with
unpredictable failure scenarios whereas traditional storage solutions cannot
handle the complexity of clustered deployments at scale.
V2.0 is
designed from the ground up to enable security at every layer of the stack,
improving security with encryption in transit. Traffic between nodes is
encrypted and authenticated.
StorageOS
integrates with Kubernetes CSI and allows storage to be declarative so users
can deploy and provision storage resources and services alongside CPU,
networking and other application resources.
"Kubernetes
users working with increasingly complex deployments require storage that
delivers predictability for replication and failover," commented Alex Chircop,
Founder and CEO at StorageOS. "Users are also deploying more mature Kubernetes
environments resulting in a need for production-grade storage. StorageOS V2.0
is ideally suited to these requirements and we are already seeing significant
demand across a range of organizations and markets."
