Modern Storage for Kubernetes and Containers
Container Storage Modules
Empower developers and automate operations with Dell’s high performing and resilient enterprise storage foundation for Kubernetes.
Why Dell CSM Simple, consistent, integrated and automated experience for enterprise storage and cloud native stateful applications
Extend enterprise storage to Kubernetes
Accelerate adoption of cloud native workloads with proven enterprise storage.
Empower developers through automation
Reduce development cycles by integrating enterprise storage with existing Kubernetes toolsets for scalable operations.
Safely and seamlessly consume storage
Monitor and secure operations across enterprise storage and DevOps environments.
Container Storage Modules
Bring powerful enterprise storage features and functionality to your Kubernetes for easier adoption of cloud native workloads, improved productivity and scalable operations. Bridge gaps between developers and IT teams with capabilities such as provisioning, snapshotting, replication, observability, authorization and resiliency for containerized workloads.
Replication Module
Easily extend data protection and DR planning to Kubernetes workloads with consistent policy enforcement and user experience.
Observability Module
Create a single pane management experience for your developers and K8 admins by integrating tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
Resiliency Module
Improve application up-time with automatic detection and recovery of node failures.
App Mobility Module
Clone stateful application workloads and application data to other Kubernetes clusters (either on-premises or in the cloud) using a single command.
Snapshot Module
Build on CSI’s point-in-time recovery with additional capabilities such as group/crash consistent snapshots with referential integrity.
Authorization Module
Apply quota and RBAC rules that instantly and automatically restrict cluster tenants' usage of storage resources.
Encryption Module1
Transparently add host side encryption to a volume, allowing for encryption both at rest and in motion (using familiar external key managers such as HashiCorp Vault).
Container Storage Interface
Available for Dell’s entire storage portfolio, our Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers expose block, file and unstructured storage systems to containerized workloads on Container Orchestration Systems (COs) like Kubernetes.
Open-source
CSM and CSI are open-source projects from Dell Technologies that take advantage of the extensibility of Kubernetes to allow developers, site reliability engineers, storage engineers and DevOps teams to run cloud native stateful applications more efficiently. CSMs have been implemented to communicate with Dell's industry leading storage products through our CSI drivers. We welcome contributions to the projects to continue to support a healthy and vibrant Kubernetes community.
