Containers are a lighter-weight, more agile way of handling virtualization. Rather than spinning up an entire VM, a container packages together
everything needed to run a small piece of software. The container includes all the code, its dependencies, and even the operating system itself.
This approach enables applications to run almost anywhere—on a desktop computer, a traditional IT infrastructure, or in the cloud.*

Veritas InfoScale is a software-defined optimization solution for mission-critical applications
that abstracts applications from their underlying hardware and software resources.

InfoScale enables advanced availability and agility capabilities:

Software-Defined Persistent Volume (PV) QoS Creation

Select the PV storage-class (Performance, Resilience, Secure) based on application requirements. InfoScale enables both dynamic and static provisioning of PV using native K8S commands for use by container-based applications.

Persistent Volume Scaling

Facilitates non-disruptive PV scaling of capacity and I/O for containerized applications by using Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS) that can manage both shared and shared-nothing (DAS) storage.

Persistent Volume Availability

Monitors Persistent Volumes (PV), network and server infrastructure to ensure that the application has all the resources needed to serve data. If the PV, network, or server is not available, InfoScale will notify Kubernetes to restart the pod to enable the application to continue to serve data.

CSI Snapshot and Cloning

Create a point-in-time PV copy of the data for backup and recovery using scripts or third-party apps like Velero for fast back-ups and restores.

Application Monitoring & Restart

Monitors critical application processes and notifies Kubernetes liveness probe to restarts the container in the event of an application failure.

Application State Integrity

Container applications on InfoScale Storage are protected from data corruption due to faults causing a split-brain condition. InfoScale prevents data from being written to nodes within the Kubernetes cluster which have lost membership due to faults.

Application Agility

Migrates existing applications to container environment by copying application data storage volumes into the Kubernetes cluster nodes.
