Converged Container Server

^KS2204-8C

All-in-One Container Specified Computing Node

QSAN KS2 series (Kubernetes Server) is a container-native converged node built to support cloud native environments in both management and computing, enabling developers and IT teams to easily deploy and manage containerized applications in on-premises or hybrid environments. With native support for stateful services, it bridges the gap between compute orchestration and robust enterprise storage.

Effortless Deployment with Streamlined Management

From initial setup to ongoing management, The KS2 series provides an intuitive graphical interface designed for streamlined deployment. Even without deep container experience, teams can quickly launch services, monitor resource usage, and scale deployments with just a few clicks—no CLI stress involved.

Scale for the Best Resilience

The KS2 series features a resilient scale-out architecture that supports cluster deployment of up to 8 nodes. This allows organizations to seamlessly expand compute resources as workloads grow—without disruption or architectural changes while appliance being added to the ethernet the appliance will be clustered automatically without complex setups.

Protect Service as Storage Dose

The KS2 series brings enterprise-class data protection beyond storage, safeguarding compute workloads with built-in features such as:

• Snapshot – Instant rollback and rapid recovery for persistent services
• Rsync – Reliable data replication across environments
• QReplica – Real-time node replication for high availability and failover readiness

Enterprise-Grade Security from the Core

Powered by XInsight, the KS2 series ensures comprehensive protection from edge to core. Security features like WORM, SED, RBAC, and Windows ACL work together to defend against unauthorized access, data tampering, and physical theft. Combined with integrated backup tools, your services remain secure, compliant, and resilient— even under the most demanding conditions.
