Top 10 Reasons to Use CloudCasa
Why use CloudCasa? Benefit immediately from a powerful and easy-to-use Kubernetes backup, recovery, migration, and replication solution. CloudCasa does all the hard work of protecting your multi-cluster environment and providing granular or cluster-level recovery - including cross-account, cross-cluster, and cross-cloud recovery. It also provides intra-cloud or cross-cloud migration capabilities. If you use Velero, that's great too, since CloudCasa also supports multi-cluster management of existing Velero installations.
What are your alternatives for Kubernetes backup?
- Do-it-yourself (DIY) products that you need to install and maintain yourself, whether opensource tools like Velero, or paid products like Kasten or Trilio.
- Legacy enterprise or cloud backup products, retrofitted with container support, that still have all their baggage from the past. You know who they are!
- Cloud vendor or other VM backup solutions that are not Kubernetes aware, or that are single-cloud only.
- Container storage solutions that only provide replication, or that are bundled with limited backup applications like PX-backup.
1 - Kubernetes Backup with Support for Velero - SaaS or Self-Hosted Options
CloudCasa is a SaaS or self-hosted solution. With CloudCasa SaaS, there is no need to build backup infrastructure, maintain a complex backup installation, or worry about the security of your installation. Using Velero? No problem, we also fully support existing Velero installations with management, monitoring, and open source support.
2 - Free Snapshots with Kubernetes Resource Backups and 100GB-mo of Backup Storage
The Free SaaS Plan provides unlimited PV snapshots with orchestration, no limits on clusters, and Kubernetes resource backups included. Protect clusters with a total of up to 10 worker nodes for free.Â
3 - Centralized Catalog, Monitoring and Reporting, Including for Velero
You don’t have to hope and pray that you have a backup when you need it. From the CloudCasa console, you can quickly confirm you have recovery points available and monitor your backups on an ongoing basis, to know you can recover your data. We can also monitor them for you and proactively inform you of failures.
4 - Intuitive GUI with Built-In Chat Support. Manage your Velero installations also!
Get ease of configuration and management from an intuitive GUI that guides you through the initial setup and configuration of clusters, accounts, and other resources, and provides policy-driven automation of backup and restore operations. And now you can use the same friendly GUI to manage Velero instead of doing that from a CLI or a home-brewed UI. Easily chat with us from the GUI if you have a question.
5 - Cross-Cluster, Cross-Account, Cross-Region, and Cross-Cloud Recovery
CloudCasa protects against both local and cloud outages by allowing you to quickly restore in an alternate cluster, zone, region or account, or even to an alternate cloud provider. Don’t have all your eggs in one basket if your cloud account is compromised or your on-prem infrastructure fails! CloudCasa also facilitates the separation of Dev, Test, and Production that best practice requires.
6 - Multi-Cluster, Cross-Cluster and Cross-Cloud Management
CloudCasa natively provides multi-cluster and cross-cluster, cross-account, cross-region, and cross-cloud backup and restore. Don’t settle for less! The challenge of manually configuring tools like Velero or Kasten on dozens of clusters across multiple clouds, not to mention trying to migrate data between them, is exponentially harder than dealing with a single cluster/single cloud environment.
7 - Cyber Resilient, Tamperproof Backups with Ransomware Protection
Cyber resilience is part of everything CloudCasa does, with logical air-gapping of storage, and tamperproof SafeLock protection for your backup data. Protect your data from hacker or a ransomware attacks, malicious users, or even accidental deletion by yourself.
8 - Easy migration & replication of Kubernetes clusters containing stateful applications
CloudCasa’s new Migration and Replication job types make is easy to migrate or periodically replicate a single application from one cluster to another, or an entire cluster from one location, region, cloud, or cloud account to another.
9 - Cloud Database Protection with Application Awareness
CloudCasa orchestrates cloud database snapshots, initially Amazon RDS, and it provides application hooks to ensure application-consistent backups of data. Cloud databases account for a large portion of persistent data for applications running on Kubernetes.
10 - Usage-based pricing that is Fair, Transparent and Simple
Pay only for what you’re backing up, not for what you might back up next month or for the infrastructure the backup uses. CloudCasa supports backup of Kubernetes resources, persistent volumes (PVs), cloud configuration, and more. Pricing is simple, with a subscription model with full transparency.
CloudCasa provides a generous free service plan that includes support for up to 10 Kubernetes worker nodes and unlimited CSI and RDS snapshots.
Our goal is to do all the hard work of backing up and protecting your multi-cloud, multi-cluster, Kubernetes applications and databases for you, so that you can realize the operational efficiency and speed of development advantages of containers and cloud native applications.
