Catalogic Software has recently unveiled significant enhancements to its CloudCasa solution, aimed at advancing backup capabilities, expanding Azure support, and elaborating on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) features. These updates focus on the sophisticated demands of various Kubernetes environments.
CloudCasa empowers enterprises with multi-cluster management for all Kubernetes distributions and hybrid cloud setups. By combining open source and SaaS management, it resolves management, governance, and compliance needs for Kubernetes data protection and disaster recovery.
The new updates endow CloudCasa with improved backup capabilities for non-snapshot environments, broader Azure support including Azure Arc integration, and enhanced features for Amazon EKS.
Notably, CloudCasa now supports backing up Persistent Volumes (PVs) without relying on snapshot technology. This user-driven feature introduces multiple “live backup” methods, essential for environments devoid of traditional snapshot support. It aims to provide flexibility and maintain data consistency, especially for organizations employing advanced storage solutions.
Responding to the growing need for versatile cloud solutions, CloudCasa has deepened its integration with Azure, now supporting Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters. This development simplifies managing hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It also enables compatibility with Azure Government cloud storage, allowing US government agencies and their partners to utilize secure and robust cloud storage.
In enhancing its support for Amazon EKS, CloudCasa introduced new capabilities like automatic encryption of Kubernetes secrets using customer-specified KMS keys. There are also enhanced backup and restore functionalities for IAM roles and Amazon EC2 launch templates. These updates aim to streamline migrating and replicating EKS clusters, ensuring secure and compliant operations.
“Our latest updates to CloudCasa give customers much more flexibility in the types of environments they can protect, migrate, and replicate, and also expand on our already class-leading support for automatic Kubernetes cluster creation,” said Bob Adair, head of product management for CloudCasa. “We’re excited to get these new features into the hands of our users. They further enhance the comprehensive suite of tools provided by CloudCasa that give customers the ability to protect their complex Kubernetes environments, in the data centre, in the cloud, and at the edge.”
