About Cloud Scale deployment
Cohesity Cloud Scale Technology redefines data management for the next decade. It is a new generation of the proven NetBackup architecture. It is designed to operate cloud-natively and uses technologies such as containers and micro services along with IT techniques like elasticity and automation. These modern techniques enable NetBackup to operate cloud-natively and deliver a consistent experience across multiple clouds to return on investment (ROI), service resiliency, and security. These factors would automatically reduce the operational complexity and the costs involved.
Cloud Scale Technology provides the NetBackup deployment solution on the following Kubernetes clusters:
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes (EKS) cluster, in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud
Azure Kubernetes Services cluster (AKS), in the Azure Cloud
The solution facilitates an orchestrated deployment of the following components on Kubernetes clusters:
NetBackup: You can deploy NetBackup on the Kubernetes clusters for scaling the capacity of the NetBackup host to serve a large number of requests concurrently running on the NetBackup primary server at its peak performance capacity.
MSDP Scaleout: In addition to the NetBackup components namely the primary and media servers, the deduplication engine (1 to 16 replicas) may also be deployed.
From NetBackup version 10.4 onwards, MSDP Scaleout is deployed as a component during the Cloud Scale solution deployment. Refer to the following section to deploy MSDP Scaleout separately without the environment operator or Helm charts:
NetBackup Snapshot Manager: You can deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager with autoscaling capabilities for data movement.
The guide describes a very comprehensive method to deploy, configure, and remove the Cloud Scale components using the environment operators.
Supported platforms
For AWS cloud: Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service
For Azure cloud: Azure Kubernetes Service
