Easy Docker Persistent Volume Protection and Replication with Datrium

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 08:08:11 +0000

In my previous article "Docker Bare-Metal – Persistent Volumes with Datrium GraphDriver Plug-In (How-to)" I talked about how to deploy Docker with persistent volumes on bare-metal servers with Datrium. This article now focuses on backing them up and replicating to a secondary site or to the cloud.

Docker Bare-Metal - Persistent Volumes with Datrium GraphDriver Plug-In (How-to)

Datrium supports various flavors of container management orchestration platforms, but independent of the orchestration platform, containers can be of persistent or transient nature. Both types may require some level of persistent storage, either to retain data across instances or to temporarily store configuration data.

How to Implement Docker Swarm with PostgreSQL and Web-Services on Nutanix ACS Shared Volumes

Mon, 22 Aug 2016 18:51:50 +0000

In my previous article we deployed an open-source PACS solution on Nutanix using Acropolis Container Services (ACS) and created a persistent volume for the application and the database – a native MySQL.

While MySQL is the simplest solution as it is already backed into the application container, it has its limitations and is not scalable enough for enterprise deployments. This article focus on deploying the same application using a container with PostgreSQL database hosted with a persist volume for database files; while having Orthanc running on non-persistent containers in a Docker swarm cluster. Docker swarm enable the application to scale-out and also manages a built-in load balancer across container instances in the cluster.

How to Deploy Open-Source PACS on Nutanix Acropolis Container Services with Persistent Storage

In this article I'll demonstrate how to deploy an open-source PACS solution (DICOM server) on Nutanix using Acropolis Container Services and implementing persistent storage using Nutanix Volume Services. If you are not familiar, PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is a healthcare technology for the short- and long-term storage, retrieval, management, distribution and presentation of medical images.
