Ionir launched its container
native software defined storage and data management platform, designed to
support Kubernetes production workloads in private cloud, hybrid cloud, and
multi-cloud deployments. The Ionir enterprise software defined storage
platform delivers Data Teleport, the industry's first instant mobility
capability for persistent volumes, that allows stateful applications to be
copied or moved instantly between Kubernetes clusters. Ionir also announced $11
million in funding led by Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP) alongside C5
Capital.
The Ionir solution brings
the same portability and mobility that customers get with containers and
Kubernetes to data and persistent volumes. Based on the unique and proven
technology developed by Reduxio, the Ionir's platform eliminates the complexity
of storage and data management for Kubernetes based clouds by allowing
customers to build a seamless data layer and a common set of data management
workflows independent of the underlying cloud or infrastructure.
"With Data Teleport,
persistent volumes can be moved or copied between Kubernetes clusters and
clouds in under 40 seconds independent of the size of the volume or the amount
of data involved" said Jacob Cherian, CEO, Ionir. "For example, in a
production/development hybrid deployment, developers will no longer have to
wait for hours or days for volumes to be copied to get access to the latest
data. With instant mobility data can be refreshed in under a minute
accelerating development processes and the delivery of new capabilities."
The Ionir platform is the
first microservices based software defined storage and data management solution
for Kubernetes that allows the platform to be extended to support future
interfaces and technologies without the need for fork-lift upgrades. The
platform today provides the following capabilities:
- Fully
virtualized persistent volumes with no practical size limit
- Data Teleport
- Instantly copy or move volumes of any size across clouds
- Instant clones
for data and application recovery
- Global
deduplication and compression for efficiency at scale
- Fault tolerant
and highly available
"Over
the years, JVP has invested in groundbreaking technologies such as BI and AI
with Qliktech, cybersecurity with companies such as CyberArk, and in leading
cloud and service providers such as Cogent," said Fiona Darmon, General Partner
with JVP, and Ionir Board Member. "Investing in Ionir will allow them to
deliver their groundbreaking innovations in cloud storage and data management,
enabling enterprises to seamlessly work across multiple infrastructure and
cloud providers, with mobility for their applications."
Enterprise adoption of Kubernetes is
increasing; but using legacy storage solutions and the lack of instant data
mobility creates infrastructure silos and operational challenges in private
cloud, hybrid cloud and multi-cloud deployments. Ionir's platform and instant
data mobility capability allows enterprises to unify multiple
infrastructure environments into a single data cloud with seamless mobility of
applications and data.
"Ionir is disrupting the Kubernetes and
cloud data storage market by helping organizations achieve seamless mobility
for their applications and data" said Michael Wall, Chairman of Ionir, and a
storage and IT infrastructure industry veteran. "This technology will redefine
IT workflows and open up new possibilities for customers to maximize the return
on their investments in multi-datacenter, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud
strategies."
