CloudCasa by Catalogic announce an integration with SUSE® Rancher Prime via a new Rancher Prime Extension.

The SUSE Rancher Prime platform delivers stress-free 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.

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 easily 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 an intuitive 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.

CloudCasa with SUSE Rancher Prime ensures seamless data protection, disaster recovery, 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. The 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 comprehensive backup solution that supports both SUSE Virtualization virtual machines and containerized workloads, ensuring complete workload protection.

- Migration Across Any Kubernetes Distribution: Enables seamless 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 of Global Sales at 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.”

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