CloudCasa Overview

CloudCasa by Catalogic is a data protection, recovery, DR, and data mobility solution for Kubernetes, cloud databases, and cloud native applications. As a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, CloudCasa eliminates the complexity of managing traditional backup infrastructure, while providing the same level of application consistent data protection that more traditional backup solutions provide for server-based applications. Further, it provides disaster recovery, security, and workload migration features that traditional backup solutions don’t.

CloudCasa uses a proprietary agent to provide backup services that are centrally controlled and managed. All configuration is stored centrally. Schedule and retention policies apply globally. Storage destinations may be shared and can be selected globally, by cluster, or by backup job. Scheduling is performed centrally. Access to CloudCasa secure cloud storage is included by default.

CloudCasa also allows the use of replication and migration jobs for data mobility, supports immutable backups with both CloudCasa storage (via SafeLock) and user-supplied storage (via object storage immutability), and allows multiple backup jobs to run in parallel on the same cluster.

Further, it supports file-level recovery of data on PVs, easy backup/restore of KubeVirt VMs running under Kubernetes, and even file-level restore of block-type VM volumes.

CloudCasa also provides protection service for cloud databases such as Amazon RDS. This is critical for Kubernetes-based applications that persist data in cloud databases.

CloudCasa uses a self-contained agent that provides all Kubernetes backup and restore functionality using a combination of Velero and proprietary modules. It provides the centralized control and global configuration needed in Enterprise environments, as well as additional data security and consistency features.
