Data Protection for Kubernetes

Containers provide a simpler way for development and operations teams to consistently execute. Popular open-source container orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes, that allow IT teams to break apart monolithic applications into smaller distinct microservices and run that software reliably between computing platforms are adding new workloads into enterprise IT environments at unprecedented rates where traditional backup and recovery tools are unprepared to efficiently protect them.

Cohesity protects data and application state for Kubernetes namespace, including coverage for OpenShift and VMware Tanzu. The multicloud data platform backs up the namespace including all its operational state—not just its data—comprehensive protection.

Modern Workloads Require Backup and Recovery

Cohesity simplifies and strengthens Kubernetes backup and recovery. It eliminates data silos caused by mass data fragmentation and replaces them with a hyperconverged solution that effectively consolidates the persistent state of applications, including PVs and operational metadata. Cohesity’s native integration with Kubernetes ensures protection and orchestration for stateful and stateless applications while supporting application-consistent snapshots so code and processes remain connected.

Key Benefits

  • Faster backups for modern application workloads
  • Global application awareness
  • Restore quickly to core, cloud, or edge
  • Protection for OpenShift and VMware Tanzu

Distributed Protection for Distributed Application Environments

While reducing time to market, containers boost application quality by keeping code and the operational processes together. Cohesity ensures they continue to stay together when they’re backed up and recovered.

Simplified Protection

Protect your modern Kubernetes based and traditional applications on one multicloud data platform.

Enterprise-class capabilities

Take advantage of all the enterprise-class capabilities, including auto protection using labels, data protection for persistent volumes and metadata, backing up data and apps using CSI snapshots.

Fast, incremental backups

With Cohesity, IT teams enjoy fast, incremental backups forever. They can set application-tier specific data protection policies to boost security and streamline compliance while further reducing IT footprints and costs with global variable-length dedupe and compression.

Comprehensive restores, anywhere

Simplicity and flexibility to recover data and the entire application anywhere, with just one-click. Cohesity restores backups to an alternate location—on-premises, cloud, or edge. This gives enterprises the freedom and choice to seamlessly migrate and confidently plan their disaster recovery strategies.

Cohesity supports easy cloud integration with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, as well as Cohesity Powered Service Provider clouds.
