As DevOps teams are focused on ensuring faster and seamless CI/CD pipelines, it is paramount to address the specific challenges posed by container-based environments. Traditional storage infrastructures, by themselves, are not cut out to meet the data persistence and portability requirements of today’s modern stateful workloads.

Introducing DataCore Bolt – a container-native storage solution which offers a fully automated software-defined approach to storage and data services management for your Kubernetes ecosystem. Deliver NVMe-powered high performance storage services for your containerized apps on-premises and in the cloud.

  • Are your code build and deploy cycles delayed by sluggish storage?
  • How do you ensure data persistence across containers in dev, test, and prod environments?
  • Are you overrunning your budget and expanding capacity continuously to keep up with storage demand?
  • Are you impeded by repetitive manual tasks for capacity provisioning and reclamation?
  • How do you circumvent storage-related outages and failures affecting your applications?

Simplify Kubernetes storage management. Simplify DevOps. Run stateful applications at scale.

Seamlessly Deploy and Run Stateful Applications on Kubernetes

DataCore Bolt is a Kubernetes storage solution that facilitates the deployment and release of production-ready software while enabling enterprise-scale agility expected in a DevOps environment. Eliminate wait time and accelerate code progression to meet your goals of continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.

Harnessing the benefits of NVMe and NVMe-oF, Bolt supports a composable and disaggregated storage architecture that delivers low-latency and enhanced responsiveness for stateful workloads.

  • Performant: Accelerate responsiveness of stateful workloads through low-latency access to NVMe drives
  • Scalable: Easily scale storage capacity based on container lifecycle needs
  • Reliable: Safeguard your data by creating multiple copies using volume replication
  • Flexible: Hardware-agnostic software runs on bare metal or VM; on-premises or in the cloud.
  • Cost-efficient: Reduce operational costs and storage TCO through smart storage orchestration and management
  • Programmable: Integrates easily with CI/CD workflows
    through APIs and CLI

Simply schedule Bolt pods to run on the same worker nodes as the application, drawing capacity from a local disk to create persistent volumes. Those logical volumes will be dynamically provisioned on-demand to stateful workloads and may be replicated to other nodes for added resilience and throughput.

No storage expertise is needed to deploy and manage Bolt: your DevOps engineer/SRE or K8s admin can focus on their core tasks while Bolt provides platform-independent storage services to fulfill the needs of containers.
