As Dell PowerStore customers scale their production estates with SUSE Rancher Prime and SUSE Virtualization, a critical gap often remains: disaster recovery. While backups are standard, they rarely provide the rapid, orchestrated failover needed for modern workloads. CloudCasa by Catalogic bridges this gap with storage-integrated DR. CloudCasa is designed to fail over critical environments in minutes, not hours, while keeping persistent data natively on PowerStore, without the complexity of third-party data planes or additional replication layers.

Modern workloads scale rapidly, but recovery objectives remain a gap
The Modern Workload Estate
  • Production Clusters on SUSE Rancher Prime: Organizations are moving mission-critical production estates onto SUSE Rancher Prime / RKE2.
  • VM Co-Existence (KubeVirt): Traditional VMs are migrated onto SUSE Virtualization to run natively alongside containers.
  • Premium Storage Backend: Stateful applications utilize Dell PowerStore arrays for low latency and high availability.
vs
The Recovery Gap
  • Backups are Not DR: Day-to-day backup tools are in place, but they cannot fail over complex workloads easily.
  • Excessive RTO/RPO: Traditional restores require hours to pull heavy persistent data from various data planes.
  • Re-Platforming Friction: Adding software storage overlays creates unnecessary complexity, cost, and management silos.
CloudCasa’s four integrated capabilities
01

SUSE Rancher Prime Backup & Restore

Protects and restores entire clusters, namespaces, and resources. Safely backs up persistent volumes (PVs) and individual files from within those PVs.

02

Disaster Recovery

Recovers containers and VMs in minutes by orchestrating Dell PowerStore’s native, array-based replication, with near-zero RPO under synchronous replication.

03

Frictionless Migration

Moves active applications or whole clusters across infrastructure, sites, or clouds with automated restore transformations like storage-class remapping.

04

VM Protection on Rancher

Delivers enterprise-grade backup, restore, disaster recovery, and migration for virtual machines running natively on SUSE Virtualization (KubeVirt).
