Datera states that that this data platform has been developed to support any application, on any orchestration stack, at any scale and with the new advancements, enterprise cloud operators, running a wide range of traditional enterprise applications or cloud-native workloads, can now consolidate their application silos on one universal data infrastructure. In data storage and management, Elastic Data Fabric adapts automatically to application or business needs and claims to deliver a wide price or performance band that can reduce cost up to 75%.
Marc Fleischmann, Founder and CEO, Datera said that Datera gives enterprise cloud operators, DevOps teams and application owners flexible storage that seamlessly adapts to their ever-changing business demands.
“With Datera Elastic Data Fabric 2.0, enterprise cloud operators get automated data infrastructure for a rich spectrum of applications. DevOps teams can use one unified data infrastructure for all major container ecosystems, and provision it as code. Application owners can simply describe their application needs and let Datera Elastic Data Fabric do all the hard work.”
According to the company, the new version of the application is also VMware Ready for Storage with VAAI certification, and integrated with VMware vCenter for provisioning and vRealize for cloud scaling. This enables automated and cost-efficient private cloud deployments for packaged enterprise applications, such as Microsoft SQL, Exchange and Sharepoint, as well as home-grown virtualized applications, such as MySQL-based stacks.
In addition to the advancements of its EDF 2.0, the company also announced integration with Mesosphere DC/OS, enabling scalability and provisioning for container-based cloud deployments of cloud-native applications, such as built on Cassandra, MongoDB and other NoSQL databases.
Since Datera EDF has integrated with Docker Swarm and Google Kubernetes, it boasts of supporting all major container ecosystems. The application also supports Dell servers, further expanding its support for industry standard servers, across hardware generations, diverse storage media, and all-flash and hybrid models, the company states.
