Google Cloud Next: Elastifile Container File System for Kubernetes

For Google Cloud Platform Marketplace

Elastifile Ltd announced its Container File System for Kubernetes (EKFS), a solution for Google Cloud Platform Marketplace supporting Google Cloud’s GKE On-Prem solution, a foundational component of Google Cloud Anthos.

The solution augments Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) On-Prem by delivering data access and native application compatibility for GKE deployments in Google Cloud, on-premises, and hybrid cloud configurations.

GKE On-Prem empowers organizations to take advantage of Kubernetes and cloud technology in their own data centers. Users get GKE experience with quick, managed, and simple installs and upgrades validated by Google Cloud. In addition, Google Cloud Console provides a single-pane-of-glass view for managing clusters across on-premises and cloud environments.

The GKE On-Prem solution is making the benefits of containers easily accessible to a wide range of enterprises,” said Erwan Menard, CEO, Elastifile. “Our collaboration with Google Cloud to support this effort illustrates our shared vision for using containers to deliver effective hybrid clouds.

Having recognized the benefits of agile, containerized deployments, many organizations are leveraging Kubernetes to package, mobilize, and scale their business-critical workflows. As a result, due to the ubiquity of file-based enterprise applications, file storage has emerged as one of the standard platforms for achieving data persistence in containerized environments.

The delivers data persistence for GKE On-Prem deployments via its Cloud File System, a cloud-native, distributed storage solution boasting a full suite of enterprise features, support for the Container Storage Interface (CSI) standard, and scalable performance to support the most demanding data-intensive applications.

Scale-out, enterprise-grade file storage is an integral element of many Kubernetes deployments, both on-premises and in the cloud, so we’re excited to partner with Elastifile on this key functionality for customers,” said Nikhil Kasinadhuni, director of engineering, Google Cloud.

Elastifile is available on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AWS, and bare metal on-premises environments, with Azure availability coming soon.
