CloudCasa for Kubernetes just got more versatile. In addition to object storage targets such as Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and other S3-compatible platforms, CloudCasa now supports NFS (Network File System) as a backup destination. This enhancement gives organizations even greater flexibility when choosing how and where to store their Kubernetes backups — whether in the cloud, on-premises, or both.

Security architecture separates successful container deployments from costly data breaches. When comparing Rancher against OpenShift, organizations must examine how each platform handles access controls, compliance frameworks, and disaster recovery protocols. Both platforms manage Kubernetes clusters effectively, but their security models take different approaches. OpenShift integrates Red Hat’s enterprise security stack with built-in image scanning and strict pod security standards.

As we move deeper into 2025, the conversation around data protection has fundamentally shifted. What was once a straightforward discussion about backup and recovery has evolved into something far more complex: data resilience. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) protecting dozens or even hundreds of client environments, this shift isn’t just semantic. It represents a critical evolution in how we think about safeguarding business continuity in an era of escalating cyber threats.

As Kubernetes adoption accelerates, more organizations are running virtual machines (VMs) inside Kubernetes using platforms like OpenShift Virtualization, SUSE Virtualization, KubeVirt, Mirantis k0rdent Virtualization, and Spectro Cloud VMO. This hybrid approach consolidates container and VM workloads on a single infrastructure, improving flexibility—but it also introduces new challenges for backup and recovery.

Statistics suggest that over 3 million companies are using Microsoft 365 as their office productivity tool. This is almost 30% of the market share. Such a reliance on a vast platform like Microsoft 365 requires appropriate security measures. These can range from conditional access policies, strong access controls, authentication mechanisms, and monitoring capabilities to complete backup and disaster recovery solutions in place.

CloudCasa by Catalogic and SUSE have partnered to deliver a new disaster recovery solution for Kubernetes and SUSE Virtualization environments. This joint approach combines CloudCasa’s Kubernetes-native backup and recovery platform with SUSE Storage (a.k.a. Longhorn) and its Disaster Recovery Volumes feature. This provides a resilient, storage-driven DR strategy that reduces cost, complexity, and recovery times.
