About using InfoScale Enterprise features to manage storage for containers
You can utilize features of InfoScale Enterprise, such as snapsots, volume layouts, and so on to effectively manage data volumes provisioned for docker containers in order to improve storage efficiency, redundancy of containers.
For IOPs intensive workloads running in Docker environments, there is a need to intelligently adopt to the storage capacity requirement based on application load. The Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS) feature of InfoScale Enterprise enables you to keep adding DAS storage devices to the environment. This flexibility to add DAS devices and export a local storage device over the network, allows the product to adopt to the capacity demands by applications running inside Docker Containers. Similarly, the SmartIO feature provides SSD caching to improve performance of applications running inside Docker Containers.
For more on the features of the InfoScale Enterprise product, refer to the Storage Foundation Administrator's guide.
