CloudCasa enhances Kubernetes support with advanced features

Catalogic Software has announced a series of enhancements to its CloudCasa solution, focusing on advanced backup capabilities, extended Azure support, and comprehensive Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) features. These updates aim to meet the complex needs of diverse Kubernetes environments.

CloudCasa enables enterprises to scale their operations through multi-cluster management across all Kubernetes distributions and hybrid cloud environments. This service, which merges the advantages of open source and SaaS management without vendor lock-in, addresses the management, governance, and compliance needs for Kubernetes data protection and disaster recovery.

The latest updates to CloudCasa include enhanced backup capabilities for non-snapshot environments, extended Azure support with Azure Arc integration, and improved features for Amazon EKS.

CloudCasa now supports the backup of Persistent Volumes (PVs) without relying on snapshot capabilities. This update is customer-driven, offering multiple "live backup" methods, which is crucial for environments where traditional snapshot technologies are not supported. It aims to provide flexibility and ensure data consistency across all Kubernetes deployments, particularly for organisations utilising sophisticated storage solutions.

In response to the increasing demand for versatile cloud solutions, CloudCasa has expanded its integration with Azure to support Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters. This development simplifies the management of hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Additionally, CloudCasa's compatibility with Azure Government cloud storage means that US government agencies and their partners can use robust and secure cloud storage capabilities.

CloudCasa has also introduced significant advancements in its support for Amazon EKS. These include new capabilities for automatically encrypting Kubernetes secrets using customer-specified KMS keys, enhanced backup and restore functionalities for IAM roles, and Amazon EC2 launch templates. These updates are designed to streamline the process of migrating and replicating EKS clusters while 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.”

These enhancements are part of CloudCasa's ongoing commitment to providing innovative data protection, disaster recovery, and application resiliency for Kubernetes environments. The updates highlight CloudCasa's dedication to addressing the evolving needs of enterprises managing complex IT infrastructures.
