Noah Fields and Sabita Davis | Io-Tahoe Enterprise Digital Resilience on Hybrid & Multicloud


 

>> Narrator: From around the globe, it's theCUBE presenting enterprise digital resilience on hybrid and multicloud brought to you by Io-Tahoe. >> Okay, now we're going to go into the demo and we want to get a better understanding of how you can leverage OpenShift and Io-Tahoe to facilitate faster application deployment. Let me pass the mic to Sabita, take it away. >> Thanks, Dave. Happy to be here again. >> Guys as Dave mentioned my name's Sabita Davis. I'm the Enterprise Account Executive here at Io-Tahoe. So today we just wanted to give you guys a general overview of how we're using OpenShift. >> Yeah, hey, I'm Noah, Io-Tahoe's Data Operations Engineer working with OpenShift and I've been learning the ins and outs of OpenShift for like the past few months. And I'm here to share what I've learned. >> Okay so before we begin I'm sure everybody wants to know Noah. What are the benefits of using OpenShift? >> Well, there's five that I can think of, faster time to operations, simplicity, automation, control and digital resilience. >> Okay, so that's really interesting because those are the exact same benefits that we at Io-Tahoe deliver to our customers. But let's start with faster time to operation, by running Io-Tahoe on OpenShift is it faster than let's say using Kubernetes and other platforms? >> Well, our objective at Io-Tahoe is to be accessible across multiple cloud platforms, right? And so by hosting our application in containers we're able to achieve this. So to answer your question it's faster to create end user application images using container tools like Kubernetes with OpenShift as compared to like Kubernetes with Docker, Kryo >> or Containerd. >> Okay, so we got a bit technical there. Can you explain that in a bit more detail? >> Yeah, there's a bit of vocabulary involved. So basically containers are used in developing things like databases, web servers or applications such as Io-Tahoe. What's great about containers is that they split the workload. So developers can select the libraries without breaking anything. And CIS admins can update the host without interrupting the programmers. Now OpenShift works hand-in-hand with Kubernetes to provide a way to build those containers for applications. >> Okay, got it. So basically containers make life easier for developers and system admins. So how does OpenShift differ from other platforms? >> Well, this kind of leads into the second benefit I want to talk about which is simplicity. Basically there's a lot of steps involved with when using Kubernetes with Docker but OpenShift simplifies this with their source to image process that takes the source code and turns it into a container image but that's not all. OpenShift has a lot of automation and features that simplify working with containers an important one being its web console. So here I've set up a light version of OpenShift called CodeReady Containers. And I was able to set up for application right from the web console. And I was able to set up this entire thing in Windows, Mac and Linux. So it's environment agnostic in that sense. >> Okay, so I think I see in the top left that this is a developer's view. What would a systems admin view look like? >> That's a good question. So here's the administrator view and this kind of ties into the benefit of control. This view gives insights into each one of the applications and containers that are running and you can make changes without affecting deployment. And you can also within this view set up each layer of security and there's multiple that you can prop up but I haven't fully messed around with it because since with my luck, I'd probably lock myself out. >> Okay, so that seems pretty secure. Is there a single point security such as you user login or are there multiple layers of security? >> Yeah, there are multiple layers of security. There's your user login, security groups and general role based access controls but there's also a ton of layers of security surrounding like the containers themselves. But for the sake of time, I won't get too far into it. >> Okay, so you mentioned simplicity and time to operation as being two of the benefits. You also briefly mentioned automation and as you know automation is the backbone of our platform here at Io-Tahoe. So that certainly grabbed my attention. Can you go a bit more in depth in terms of automation? >> OpenShift provides extensive automation that speeds up that time to operation, right? So the latest versions of OpenShift come with a built-in cryo container engine which basically means that you get to skip that container engine installation step. And you don't have to like log into each individual container hosts and configure networking, configure registry servers, storage, et cetera. So I'd say it automates the more boring kind of tedious processes. >> Okay, so I see the Io-Tahoe template there. What does it allow me to do? >> In terms of automation in application development. So we've created an OpenShift template which contains our application. This allows developers to instantly like set up a product within that template or within that, yeah. >> Okay, so Noah, last question. Speaking of vocabulary, you mentioned earlier digital resilience is a term we're hearing especially in the banking and finance world. It seems from what you described industries like banking and finance would be more resilient using OpenShift, correct? >> Yeah, in terms of digital resilience, OpenShift will give you better control over the consumption of resources each container is using. In addition, the benefit of containers is that like I mentioned earlier sysadmins can troubleshoot the servers without bringing down the application. And if the application does go down it's easy to bring it back up using the templates and like the other automation features that OpenShift provides. >> Okay, so thanks so much Noah. So any final thoughts you want to share? >> Yeah, I just want to give a quick recap of like the five benefits that you gain by using OpenShift. The five are time to operation, automation, control, security and simplicity. You can deploy applications faster, you can simplify the workload, you can automate a lot of the otherwise tedious processes, and maintain full control over your workflow and you can assert digital resilience within your environment. >> So guys, thanks for that appreciate the demo. I wonder you guys have been talking about the combination of Io-Tahoe and Red Hat. Can you tie that in Sabita to digital resilience specifically? >> Yeah, sure Dave. So when we speak to the benefits of security controls in terms of digital resilience at Io-Tahoe we automated detection and apply controls at the data level. So this would provide for more enhanced security. >> Okay, but so if you were to try to do all these things manually I mean, what does that do? How much time can I compress? What's the time to value? >> So with our latest versions of Io-Tahoe we're taking advantage of faster deployment time associated with containerization and Kubernetes. So this kind of speeds up the time it takes for customers start using our softwares. They'd be able to quickly spin up Io-Tahoe in their own on-premise environment or otherwise in their own cloud environment like including AWS, Azure, Oracle GCP and IBM cloud. Our quick start templates allow flexibility to deploy into multicloud environments all just using like a few clicks. >> Okay, so now I'll just quickly add, so what we've done Io-Tahoe here is we've really moved our customers away from the whole idea of needing a team of engineers to apply controls to data as compared to other manually driven workflows. So with templates, automation, pre-built policies and data controls one person can be fully operational within a few hours and achieve results straight out of the box on any cloud. >> Yeah, we've been talking about this theme of abstracting the complexity that's really what we're seeing is a major trend in this coming decade. Okay, great. Thanks Sabita, Noah. How can people get more information or if they have any follow up questions, where should they go? >> Yeah, sure Dave I mean if you guys are interested in learning more reach out to us @infoatiotahoe.com to speak with one of our sales engineers. I mean, we'd love to hear from you. So book a meeting as soon as you can. >> All right, thanks guys. Keep it right there for more cube content with Io-Tahoe. (gentle music)
