Rancher Labs Introduces Persistent Storage Services for Docker

With Rancher, developers can now deploy and orchestrate stateful containers reliably across any cloud using Docker

CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#RancherLabs today announced that Rancher, the company’s flagship product for building a private container service, has introduced support for orchestrating #PersistentStorageServices for #Docker, making it possible for developers to deploy storage reliably in conjunction with containerized applications. The new feature builds on Docker 1.9 volume plugin capabilities, and makes it easier for developers to run applications that require stateful databases and persistent storage.

“Deploying Dockerized applications that store persistent data required users to create a custom solution that integrated with storage platforms running outside of a Docker environment,” said John Katsaros, principal analyst at FocusOnDocker. “Rancher is continuing to push the industry forward with this latest offering. Developers will now be able to outline the exact storage capabilities needed for each application, drastically simplifying the process.”

When used in conjunction with a Docker 1.9 volume plugin, Rancher users are now able to:

Orchestrate the deployment and configuration of storage services directly on container hosts, utilizing any software defined storage platforms shipped as containers, including, for example, Gluster, Ceph and NexentaEdge.
Launch applications using Docker Compose that can leverage these storage services to automatically create and mount persistent Docker volumes to support stateful application services such as traditional databases.
Utilize any vendor-specific advanced storage features offered by storage services such as snapshot, backup, remote replication and data analytics.
Deploy an application with all of its necessary storage services on any virtual machine or bare metal server, running in any public cloud or private data center.
