Veritas Alta Storage Resiliency for Kubernetes + Essential Support — 1 Core Plus, 5 Year

Veritas Alta Storage Resiliency for Kubernetes + Essential Support is a robust, enterprise-grade solution designed to protect and maintain availability for Kubernetes-based workloads across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. With a 5-year subscription license for 1 Core Plus and Essential Support, organizations gain peace of mind through automated, policy-driven resiliency that minimizes downtime, accelerates recovery, and ensures continuity for mission-critical applications. This offering aligns with Veritas Corporate Licensing Program (CLP) pricing, delivering predictable costs, simplified procurement, and scalable deployment across your Kubernetes footprint. Whether you’re running stateful databases, microservices, or containerized data services, this solution helps you maintain consistent performance, data integrity, and rapid recovery in the face of failures, outages, or cyber threats.

• Comprehensive Kubernetes storage resiliency for mission-critical workloads. This solution provides mature data protection for Kubernetes clusters, including snapshot-based backups, point-in-time recovery, and cross-cluster replication. By safeguarding persistent volumes and stateful applications, it minimizes data loss and shortens recovery time objectives (RTO). It supports application-consistent backups, enabling reliable restoration of complex workloads such as databases and distributed services, even in multi-cloud or hybrid deployments. With automated failover and failback workflows, you can maintain application availability during regional outages or maintenance windows, reducing business disruption and preserving service level objectives (SLOs).

  Designed to operate seamlessly with Kubernetes-native constructs, it integrates with your existing storage classes and namespace policies, ensuring protecting data across diverse storage backends. The solution’s resiliency capabilities extend beyond simple backup, offering continuous data protection and rapid recovery to keep critical services online when incidents occur. This leads to improved customer satisfaction, reduced operational risk, and enhanced confidence in your Kubernetes strategy.

• Advanced resiliency for stateful workloads and multi-cluster environments. Protecting StatefulSets, databases, and other stateful services becomes simpler with policy-driven protection that can span multiple clusters, zones, or cloud regions. The platform supports scalable protection policies that adapt as your Kubernetes footprint grows, enabling seamless expansion without sacrificing recovery performance. Cross-cluster replication and coordinated failover tests help ensure data integrity and availability, even in complex topologies. You can automate failover to secondary clusters or cloud environments while preserving the consistency of application state, enabling rapid restoration of services to a healthy state after an incident.

  Whether you operate on-prem, in public clouds, or in a hybrid model, the solution keeps data protected across environments with centralized visibility. Administrators gain clarity through consolidated dashboards, policy templates, and clear recovery objectives, making it easier to demonstrate compliance and uptime to stakeholders while maintaining efficient resource usage.

• Unified management, automation, and governance. A single control plane provides a unified view of protection policies, inventory, and recovery readiness across all Kubernetes clusters. Policy-based automation reduces manual configuration, enforces standard protection templates, and accelerates onboarding for new namespaces, teams, or workloads. Role-based access control (RBAC), audit trails, and change history support governance requirements and IT security programs, helping you meet regulatory expectations while keeping operations streamlined.

  Operational efficiency improves as teams leverage automation to apply consistent protections across environments. This consistency translates to faster, more predictable recovery outcomes and easier training for staff, which in turn lowers the total cost of ownership. By consolidating management tasks, you can redirect resources toward strategic initiatives rather than repetitive administration.

• Security, compliance, and data integrity. The product emphasizes secure data handling, including encryption at rest and in transit, tamper-evident logging, and secure key management. Auditable events and detailed recovery reports support compliance programs and audits. With built-in resilience against ransomware and other threats, your Kubernetes workloads stay protected, enabling you to meet security and regulatory requirements with confidence.

  Security features extend to access controls, authentication integrations, and ongoing monitoring to detect anomalous activity. By maintaining strong data integrity and traceability, the solution helps you demonstrate due diligence and maintain customer trust as you scale your Kubernetes deployments.

• Scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency for growing Kubernetes footprints. The licensing and architecture are designed to grow with your Kubernetes ecosystem—from a handful of clusters to thousands of workloads across multi-cloud environments. The 1 Core Plus license provides the core protection capabilities you need, while the five-year term and CLP-based corporate pricing simplify budgeting and procurement. As your cluster inventory increases, the solution’s performance and protection policies scale without requiring complex reconfigurations, ensuring consistent protection as you expand.

  Flexibility is also enhanced by support for diverse storage backends and cloud storage options, enabling you to choose the most cost-effective and performance-appropriate storage tier for each workload. This adaptability helps you optimize spend while preserving the high level of resiliency your business demands.

How to Install Veritas Alta Storage Resiliency For Kubernetes

• Prerequisites and planning: Prepare your Kubernetes clusters, verify version compatibility, and ensure network connectivity to your storage backends. Inventory your critical namespaces and identify stateful workloads (such as databases and messaging services) that require immediate protection. Review licensing and acquire your 1 Core Plus subscription key as part of your CLP procurement to enable activation.

• Obtain and activate the license: Retrieve the subscription key from your Veritas CLP portal and activate the license in your Veritas management console or deployment environment. Confirm activation status and verify that protection policies can be applied to the intended namespaces and workloads.

• Deploy the protection operator or deployment package: Install the Veritas Alta Storage Resiliency components using the recommended deployment method for Kubernetes—typically via an operator or Helm-based installation. Follow the official deployment manifest to create the necessary custom resources, namespaces, and service accounts. Ensure the deployment has access to the required storage classes and network ranges to communicate with target clusters and cloud regions.

• Configure protection policies: Create and apply protection templates for your critical workloads, including snapshot schedules, replication targets, and recovery points. Define retention windows, RPO/RTO objectives, and cross-cluster protection rules. Apply policies to the relevant namespaces and test restoration workflows to validate that recovery processes meet your business requirements.

• Monitor, test, and optimize: Use the centralized dashboard to monitor protection status, alerts, and compliance. Schedule regular recovery tests to validate that restores proceed as expected. Tune policy parameters for performance, storage efficiency, and cost control. Plan for scale by provisioning additional protection profiles as your Kubernetes footprint grows, ensuring continued resilience and uptime.
