Visibility at Scale
As cluster count grows, getting a clear picture of volume health, node performance, and workload behavior becomes a full-time job when you are doing it manually.
Make OpenEBS Production-Ready
at Enterprise Scale
Bring enterprise management, automation, observability, and 24/7 expert support to your OpenEBS environment. Build and run stateful applications with confidence.
OpenEBS gives you a great foundation. Production demands more.
As OpenEBS moves from dev/test into production, operational complexity grows quickly. Here's where teams typically feel it.
Incidents Don't Wait for Business Hours
Root-cause analysis across K8s, storage, and infrastructure layers simultaneously is hard. Doing it at 2am without direct access to the people who built the stack is harder.
Operational Repeatability
Upgrades, config changes, cluster sizing, backup workflows — each one is a custom effort when you're building and managing the entire operational layer yourself.
For Kubernetes
Everything OpenEBS needs to run in production.
Puls8 adds the operational capabilities production Kubernetes environments require — without replacing or disrupting the storage layer beneath.
Advanced Data Services & Automation
Snapshots, clones, thin provisioning, and storage policies out of the box — no custom scripting required.
HA & Node Failure Protection
Automated high availability with Puls8 Lifeline keeps stateful workloads running during node events.
Backup & Recovery
Out-of-the-box integration with Veeam, Kasten, Velero, and CloudCasa — no custom scripts or manual wiring.
Monitoring & Observability
Out-of-the-box dashboards and alerts across volumes, nodes, and workloads — no DIY integration needed.
Encryption with KMS
Storage-layer encryption with Key Management System integration for security and compliance teams.
Centralized Management
A unified UI for managing OpenEBS across clusters — consistent operations without CLI-only workflows.
24/7 Enterprise Support
Direct access to the engineers who build OpenEBS — SLA-backed resolution, not community best-effort.
Design, Sizing & Upgrade Assistance
DataCore experts assist with architecture, cluster sizing, and upgrade planning — you are not solving it alone.
Prioritized Bug Fixes
Issues in your environment are prioritized by DataCore — the OpenEBS maintainers — not left to community timelines.
From open-source foundation to production-ready platform.

Puls8 is for platform engineering and SRE teams taking OpenEBS into production.
Standardize operations across clusters
- Replace ad hoc volume management with a centralized control plane.
- Standardize backup, recovery, and lifecycle workflows across environments.
- Reduce manual operational effort as cluster count grows.
- Get architecture and sizing guidance without internal trial and error.
Respond faster and sleep better
- Built-in observability instead of stitching together DIY monitoring.
- 24/7 access to OpenEBS engineers for production and DevOps incidents.
- Lifeline HA protects stateful workloads during node failures.
- Faster root-cause analysis across Kubernetes and storage layers.
A clearer path from open-source to production
- Production SLA coverage without replacing your storage foundation.
- Reduce the hidden cost of building and maintaining DIY operational tooling.
- Give your team a structured operating model instead of reinventing it.
- Upgrade to enterprise readiness without migration risk.
