As business-critical applications are developed and deployed on the OpenShift platform, organizations need to protect these applications and the application data alike. Protecting an OpenShift environment is not as simple as applying a traditional data backup and recovery solution to the container space. Protection for cloud-native workloads is another major challenge in container adoption.
Dell PowerProtect Data Manager offers a centralized platform to protect OpenShift Kubernetes workloads, ensuring that data is easy to back up and restore and remains available, consistent, and durable in a workload or disaster recovery situation. PowerProtect Data Manager provides a centralized management UI, where users can define protection policies to manage the clusters, namespaces, and other OpenShift components.
