Protecting Kubernetes Applications with Dell PowerProtect Data Manager

​

Today’s IT teams have quickly become faced with the need to protect Kubernetes applications and their data. This is a unique challenge, because Kubernetes applications utilize a variety of databases that are managed from outside of IT. They must be mobile across an array of distributions and infrastructures. And all of this must be achieved in a way that does not impede the agility of DevOps, and alongside the protection of more traditional physical and virtual resources. This is especially a tall order, because the entire ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes applications is fragmented and still evolving and maturing. With PowerProtect Data Manager, Dell has brought to market an offering that addresses these key pain points, including through its support of a broad range of protection sources and targets under one umbrella, its streamlined and flexible management capabilities, its ability to protect the entire application namespace in an application-specific way, and its integration with Dell PowerProtect Data Domain.
