SoftNAS Docker Storage Solution

For DevOps striving for continuous delivery of applications, SoftNAS Cloud NAS provides a simple, on-demand persistent shared storage solution for Docker storage containers.

SoftNAS is a software-defined Cloud NAS filer, delivered as a virtual storage appliance that provides enterprise-class NAS data protection capabilities, including high-availability (HA), scheduled snapshots, and SnapClones™ for regression testing of production data. SoftNAS runs in the AWS, Microsoft Azure, and VMware vSphere.

Benefits

While Docker is a great tool that simplifies application development, on its own, Docker has some limitations when it comes to its ephemeral storage:

If data is not stored in a volume, the data disappears when you delete the Docker container
Docker cannot natively share volumes across multiple Docker hosts

With SoftNAS and Docker, you can:

Share persistent storage between Docker containers and hosts
Share snapshots of your data to S3 or elsewhere for use even after your Docker container has exited

Additionally, SoftNAS Cloud NAS Storage is founded on easy set-up wizards and an intuitive user interface, making it a good choice for lean application developer teams who are unfamiliar with traditional storage architecture and configuration.
