CloudCasa by Catalogic Introduces SUSE Rancher Prime Extension

CloudCasa by Catalogic announces its integration with SUSE Rancher Prime via a Rancher Prime Extension.

Leveraging SUSE LLC‘s rich 30-year history of innovation, the SUSE Rancher Prime platform delivers infrastructure to securely deploy, run, and manage modern workloads anywhere. This integration enables users to easily install CloudCasa agents and manage and monitor backups directly from the Rancher Prime UI. It enhances Kubernetes data protection and resilience while simplifying backup management for enterprises running Kubernetes workloads across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments.

Enhancing Kubernetes Backup with CloudCasa Rancher Prime Extension
SUSE Rancher Prime Extensions allow users, developers, and partners to extend and enhance the Rancher UI, providing customization and new functionality independent of Rancher releases. With CloudCasa’s integration, users can install and configure CloudCasa agents on Kubernetes clusters managed by Rancher Prime, streamlining the backup process. Users can also manage backup and restore operations through a dashboard within the Rancher Prime UI, for easy integration. Additionally, users can monitor backups directly from Rancher Prime, simplifying backup management and ensuring data protection without leaving the platform.

Powerful Combination for Kubernetes Resilience
CloudCasa with SUSE Rancher Prime ensures data protection, DR, and migration across all Kubernetes distributions. With a single, unified management platform, organizations can achieve a consistent experience regardless of where their Kubernetes clusters are hosted.

Combined solution delivers:

• Multi-Cluster Management Across Clouds and On-Premises: Simplified operations with unified backup and recovery management for Kubernetes clusters across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments.
• Single Pane of Glass for VM and Container Management: A backup solution that supports both SUSE Virtualization VMs and containerized workloads, ensuring complete workload protection.
• Migration Across Any Kubernetes Distribution: Enables migration and recovery between different Kubernetes distributions, reducing downtime and operational complexity.
• Enterprise-Grade Security, Compliance, and Governance: Ensures regulatory compliance with encrypted, air-gapped, and immutable backups, protecting against ransomware and data loss.

“SUSE Rancher Prime provides a powerful way to enhance the Kubernetes management experience, and CloudCasa’s Rancher Extension ensures that users can now manage their backups just as easily,” said Ryan Kaw, VP, global sales, CloudCasa by Catalogic. “By bringing CloudCasa’s agent installation, backup monitoring, and policy management directly into the Rancher UI, we are making Kubernetes data protection more seamless and accessible – whether users are running their workloads on-premises, at the edge, or in the cloud.”

“We’re extremely happy that Catalogic has chosen to deepen the integration between CloudCasa and SUSE Rancher Prime using our extension framework.” said Troy Topnik, product management director, Rancher Prime partners and ecosystems, SUSE LLC. “It shows how SUSE Rancher Prime’s extensibility combined with a partner’s domain expertise can improve the user experience for customers.“

Availability and Support
The CloudCasa integration with SUSE Rancher Prime is available. Users can install the CloudCasa extension directly within the Rancher Prime UI and start protecting their Kubernetes workloads immediately.

For organizations seeking additional implementation support or customizations, Krumware LLC, who collaborated on building the extension, is a SUSE partner and CloudCasa user, and an expert in software and platform engineering. Krumware’s knowledge and capabilities reduce implementation time and risk while providing continuous enablement and support.

CloudCasa team will be in attendance at SUSECON 25, March 10-14 in Orlando, FL, to discuss and showcase this new integration.
