When using Kubernetes at scale, enterprise workloads present many challenges for your storage layer and applications, including:

• Managing complexity
• Controlling costs
• Moving data across environments
• Keeping your persistent data layer protected
• Observing cluster performance and availability

With the NetApp^® portfolio of Kubernetes management products, your cloud infrastructure is always developer-ready, available, scalable, and at the optimal price and performance.

Learn more about our offerings:

• NetApp Trident^™ software
• NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights

As a fully supported open-source project maintained by NetApp, Trident has been designed from the ground up to help you meet your containerized applications' persistence demands using industry-standard interfaces, such as the Container Storage Interface (CSI).

Trident automates the provisioning of industry-leading NetApp storage for Kubernetes applications, on premises and in the cloud. It simplifies the setup of persistent volumes, so your team can focus on development rather than storage management.

To run data-rich enterprise applications on Kubernetes, you need enhanced integrated backup, cloning, disaster recovery (DR), data optimization, and security features. NetApp SnapMirror^® replication provides DR and business continuity while enabling the lowest RPO/RTO.

Trident also addresses portability and migration for Kubernetes workloads, using our industry-leading data management technology for NetApp Snapshot™ copies, backups, replication, and cloning.

NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights gives you extensive monitoring features for your Kubernetes deployments. These features enable better performance, availability, and compliance, including:

• An extensive view of all your Kubernetes cluster, node, pod, and namespace metrics
• Topology mapping for Kubernetes clusters, which enables nonexperts to easily identify and troubleshoot issues
• The ability to discover and profile your Kubernetes data for enhanced governance and privacy

We help thousands of customers realize the full potential of their Kubernetes deployments both on premises and in the cloud. Imagine not worrying about infrastructure when you build apps, and knowing that you're continuously optimizing the use of resources supporting your cloud-native workloads.
