QSAN Strengthens High Availability and Data Backup in Containerization

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - August 16, 2023 - QSAN Technology, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, has strengthened its ultra-high availability with the latest update to its CSI solution. The new update includes MPIO functionality, allowing load balancing and failover processes to be configured on iSCSI devices, providing new data protection and disaster recovery capabilities for containerized environments. In addition to the existing XCubeSAN solution, the latest CSI driver also supports compatibility with the XCubeFAS series and the enhanced container backup Velero solution.

High availability is a key element for every enterprise: as it directly impacts productivity and efficiency, it should be implemented and maintained with the ample time and resources. MPIO provides redundancy and load balancing capabilities, automatically redirecting data flow in the event of a path failure, preventing service interruptions, and ensuring continuous access to critical data. High availability support provides a solid storage foundation, ensuring that applications and users can continue to access data without being affected by service interruptions, making it a critical component for maintaining operations.

Containerization is a crucial technology for modern enterprises to protect data and ensure business continuity, bringing flexibility, scalability, and faster application development cycles. It allows for quick and reliable data recovery in case of data loss, system failures, or accidental deletions. To adapt to today's dynamic modern IT deployment environments, adopting containerization technology and implementing container backup strategies are the best choices for enterprises to secure efficient disaster recovery capabilities. With the growth of Kubernetes clusters and data, storage solutions are crucial for containerized environment deployment and backup. QSAN's XCubeSAN series easily provides high capacity expansion, and its high performance with CSI support enables enterprises to quickly deploy containerized environments. Compatibility with the backup solution Valero offers the best container backup solution for enterprises, significantly reducing the risk of data loss.
