About managing Docker containers with InfoScale Enterprise product
You can deploy and manage Docker containers that host applications by leveraging the storage management and high availability features of the InfoScale Enterprise product. The Veritas File System (VxFS) and Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) components of the InfoScale Enterprise product provide storage management capabilities to manage Docker containers. The Cluster Server Agent for Docker provides high availability to the Docker Daemon and Docker Containers. If a node goes down or during system outage, the agent fails over Docker Daemon and Docker Container to another node in the cluster.
The InfoScale Enterprise product can be used to replicate and migrate Docker Containers. This replication capability is provided by VVR and VFR technologies, which are part of the InfoScale Enterprise product. Docker containers can be recovered across geographically distributed sites by configuring the Global Cluster Option (GCO) in cluster deployments of VCS.
As Docker technology continues to evolve as one of the leading container technology, the InfoScale Enterprise product solves a few key use cases in Docker environments.
The InfoScale Enterprise product addresses the following use cases:
Scale storage capacity for Docker containers
Manage data for Docker containers
Migrate Docker containers
Provide High Availability for containers
Provide Disaster Recovery for Docker containers
