CloudCasa has released updates to its backup and recovery platform, designed for Red Hat OpenShift environments. These updates support core, edge, and hybrid cloud deployments.
A key update adds support for the SMB protocol as a backup storage target. Organisations can use existing SMB-based storage, including storage managed via an SMB operator on Red Hat OpenShift clusters. This integration allows customers to align their backup architectures with existing enterprise storage strategies and maintain environment consistency.
Other updates focus on storage efficiency, particularly for edge deployments or sites with limited resources. By improving storage efficiency, CloudCasa helps organisations reduce storage footprints and bandwidth usage while providing protection for distributed Red Hat OpenShift workloads.
CloudCasa already supports file-level restores from persistent volume claims in Red Hat OpenShift. The platform now allows granular recovery of virtualised workloads, including file-level restores from virtual machine backups. This capability can enable faster recovery times and lower operational overhead for VM-based applications running on Red Hat OpenShift.
Red Hat OpenShift provides a platform for developing, deploying, and managing Kubernetes-based applications across multi-cloud environments. With CloudCasa's expanded backup target options, enhanced storage efficiency, and improved recovery capabilities, users can strengthen data resilience while maintaining operational continuity.
The new features support simplified operations for hybrid cloud architectures and align data protection strategies with evolving technology requirements.
