StorMagic®, simplifying storage and security from the edge to the core, announced the availability of its Container Storage Interface (CSI), a standard driver that provides persistent storage for Kubernetes-orchestrated container environments.
The CSI driver allows remote sites to deploy containers at the edge with affordable, persistent storage combined with SvSAN’s no single point of failure architecture.
Customers can deploy a two-node, centrally-managed cluster that supports both virtual machines (VMs) and containers specifically designed for edge environments, at the market’s lowest cost.
Meeting edge environment requirements
“Containers require little memory, launch quickly and their efficiency requires significantly less hardware and physical space, which meets the requirements of edge environments,” said Dave Raffo, senior analyst, integrated systems and container storage, Evaluator Group.
“StorMagic’s two-node CSI solution helps edge customers modernize their legacy applications while gaining the benefits of containers at the edge.”
