Woodcliff Lake, NJ, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Catalogic Software, a leading provider of smart data protection solutions, today announced the extension of its cloud native backup-as-a-service platform CloudCasa to Google Kubernetes Engine, and the addition of Any2Cloud Recovery, a feature that restores backup of any cluster to cloud and support for private links, providing private connectivity between clusters, backup storage, and the CloudCasa service without exposing customer traffic to the internet.
"CloudCasa is addressing the key data protection and data migration challenges in multi-cloud and multi-cluster Kubernetes environments,” said Enrico Signoretti, Research Product Manager, GigaOm. “With native integration into the Kubernetes services of the top 3 public clouds in addition to Kubernetes itself, CloudCasa helps enable both the multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud journey in this important cloud native ecosystem.”
CloudCasa protects Kubernetes environments and provides a cyber-resilient, hybrid and cloud integrated disaster recovery service for cloud native applications. Expanding on its multi-cloud Kubernetes data protection strategy, the service adds native integration with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) in addition to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). CloudCasa now allows GKE users to register their Google Cloud Platform accounts to centralize backup and recovery of all GKE clusters, customizes networking, auto-scaling, and sizing configuration on recovered clusters and restores backup of any cluster, on-premises or in the cloud. This update allows customers to automatically see their GKE, AKS, and EKS clusters in one view and apply global protection and recovery policies across multiple accounts and regions.
“Over 75% of Kubernetes users rely on cloud-managed and hosted instances. CloudCasa now supports all three major cloud Kubernetes services in Azure AKS, Amazon EKS and Google GKE. As the first and most mature backup-as-a-service offering for Kubernetes, CloudCasa users can centralize data protection management, improve security and compliance, and can rely on rapid and repeatable recoveries,” said Sathya Sankaran, General Manager of CloudCasa by Catalogic. “CloudCasa is now the only data protection service to provide fully automated cross-platform, in-cloud cluster recovery irrespective of where your backup clusters are hosted. Customers have zero infrastructure burden and can perform their first backup within 10 minutes of registering an account with us.”
CloudCasa also introduced a number of additional, customer requested enhancements, described below:
- Automated backup and recovery for Azure Files on AKS
- Protection for native (non-CSI) persistent volumes on AKS, EKS, and GKE
- Protection for NFS persistent volumes
- Restrict traffic to private links and private container registries
- Auto-install of CloudCasa application on clusters with auto-updates
- Immutability through Object Lock support for user managed object stores
- Auto-resize and reset auto-scaling on recovered clusters for test/dev/migration use cases
