Enterprise-Grade Data Services for Your Kubernetes Workloads
Simplify stateful Kubernetes with built-in DR and policy-driven data management across clouds.
Policy driven Kubernetes Disaster Recovery
Extend Kubernetes DR management to the app level for easy migration, backup and disaster recovery.
Simplify and unify operations
Unify data services with enterprise-class resiliency to reduce Kubernetes operational complexity and ensure consistent data protection.
Full stack platform
Integrate Kubernetes compute, storage, networking, and disaster recovery for a seamless, production-ready cloud-native experience.
NDK Capabilities That Power Modern Kubernetes Workloads
Enable Built-in Kubernetes Disaster Recovery
These capabilities work together to deliver end-to-end Kubernetes data protection, ensuring that data integrity, recovery times, and operational resilience meet enterprise-level expectations in both cloud and datacenter deployments.
Protect mission-critical workloads
Ensure zero data loss and instant failover with synchronous replication for file and block storage across sites.
Achieve flexible recovery objectives
Balance cost and performance with configurable RTO and RPO using asynchronous, tiered replication.
Enable multi-site compliance and resilience
Meet enterprise governance and regulatory requirements with geographically distributed data protection.
Automate with App-Centric, Policy-Driven Protection
Safeguard containerized applications with enterprise-grade protection that scales with your infrastructure. Automate backup and recovery workflows while maintaining consistency across hybrid and multicloud Kubernetes environments.
Protect complete applications
Capture both application configuration and data to ensure fast, consistent recovery across environments.
Automate protection with policies
Eliminate manual tasks with policy-based scheduling that keeps containerized applications aligned with defined SLAs.
Streamline operations across platforms
Simplify data protection and recovery with support for multiple Kubernetes distributions.
Accelerate Operations with Kubernetes-Native Data Management
Eliminate Kubernetes data protection complexity. Native integration with kubectl, automated snapshots, and self-service tools empower teams to deploy faster while maintaining enterprise control.
Enhance control and visibility
Use namespace- and pod-aware protection purpose-built for Kubernetes workloads.
Manage through native Kubernetes tools
Perform snapshots and restores directly with kubectl and the Kubernetes API for seamless integration.
Empower developers and platform teams
Enable self-service data protection to reduce operational overhead and accelerate delivery.

FAQs
Many enterprises believe that containers and Kubernetes are key enablers for multicloud strategies. They provide a consistent platform that allows applications to run across multiple cloud environments with minimal modification.
Business owners often struggle to deploy modern applications effectively across multicloud environments. Solutions like NDK help abstract infrastructure dependencies, enabling consistent application deployment both on-premises and in the cloud.
The most important features include multicluster lifecycle management and “fleet management” of policies, applications, and security. These tools simplify operations, ensure compliance, and help maintain consistent configurations across multiple Kubernetes clusters.
Yes. The CNCF Annual Survey report, 2024 reports that 74% organizations use containers to run and manage stateful applications.
