Abstract
This IDC study evaluates and highlights the most important criteria that differentiate prominent vendors providing container data management capabilities. Storage administrators need to be able to perform the same back-end tasks for container environments as for traditional ones. Tools for monitoring and optimizing storage resource consumption, providing storage resources for applications, and performing data protection tasks such as backup and recovery and disaster recovery (DR) are necessary for running containers and Kubernetes at scale.
There’s a wide selection of products that can provide these capabilities, but the best product for each organization is difficult to pinpoint. This study evaluates and highlights the key differentiators of the most prominent container data management vendors, so buyers can pick products that align with their stage of Kubernetes adoption, level of Kubernetes expertise, and long-term goals of their organization’s entire application estate.
“Storage administrators are not always container or Kubernetes experts, yet they are still responsible for supporting containerized applications to the same extent as any other business application,” said Johnny Yu, research manager, Storage and Computing Infrastructure Software Platforms at IDC. “Finding the right tools for this is challenging, and this IDC study aims to help organizations narrow down container data management products to the ones that best suit their needs.”
