Key Features

Rok Cluster: According to the vendor, the platform allows users to run stateful containers over fast, local NVMe storage either on-prem or on the cloud. It also offers the ability to snapshot entire applications, including data, for local and offsite backups. The vendor claims that users can take immutable, group consistent snapshots of apps and store them in a backup store like S3. Additionally, the platform offers instant recovery from hardware failure using Rok's instant cloning feature.

Rok Registry: The vendor states that Rok Registry provides a single pane of glass to search, discover, and share datasets and environments. Users can create private or public groups with fine-grained Access Control Lists, giving them full control over data access for individual users, locations, and devices. The platform aims to ensure security and confidentiality of sensitive data.

Cross Platform Data Management: According to the vendor, the platform aims to avoid vendor lock-in and allows users to use any type of hardware for compute and storage. It provides the flexibility to move to the cloud provider of choice or switch among different cloud providers, enabling seamless migration and flexibility in infrastructure choices.

Create A Local Bucket: Users can take instant snapshots of containers locally and group them into collections called Buckets, according to the vendor.

Publish A Local Bucket: The vendor claims that users can create a link to a Bucket on Rok Registry for easy sharing and discovery.

Set Permissions: Users can share Bucket links with specific collaborators, groups, or keep them private, according to the vendor.

Search For A Bucket: Users can search on Rok Registry for the Bucket to sync and copy its link, according to the vendor.

Subscribe: Users can create a new subscribed Bucket on Rok by pasting the link obtained from Rok Registry, according to the vendor.

Let The Syncing Begin!: According to the vendor, subscribers can exchange data in a decentralized manner, with automatic syncing of new snapshots as the publisher updates the Bucket.

Spawn Your Snapshots: Users can instantly spawn a container from a synced snapshot on the target cluster, according to the vendor.
