Wasabi Technologies and Kasten by Veeam Partnering

Wasabi Technologies, Inc. has partnered with Kasten by Veeam to provide enterprise operations teams with a scalable and secure system for backup/restore, DR, and application mobility for Kubernetes.

Purpose-built for Kubernetes, Kasten K10 data management platform combined with Wasabi’s hot cloud storage enables users to access data in milliseconds with data protection and immutability vs. accidental or malicious backup corruption.

As more enterprises adopt micro-service architecture and containers, Kubernetes has become a fast-growing infrastructure software providing HA and scalability of application services. However, these benefits do not extend to customer data, and therefore data and application protection are a critical priority for Kubernetes workloads as enterprises must extract data from the Kubernetes environment and store it securely. Whether accidental or malicious, preventing catastrophic data loss is increasingly challenging, especially when defending vs. ransomware attacks, mitigating the impact of human error or ensuring the chain of custody and regulatory compliance of data.

With Wasabi hot cloud storage on-demand, Kasten customers can treat their data as hot data, shortening upload windows and accessing their data for faster restore times. Wasabi is 80% less expensive than traditional cloud providers, and there are no fees for egress or API requests.

“As Kubernetes becomes the de facto application system for enterprises everywhere, storage, backup and protection have never been more important,” said David Boland, senior director of product marketing, Wasabi. “By partnering with Kasten by Veeam, Kubernetes users everywhere will have instant access to their application data with industry-leading backup and immutability that provides a faster, affordable, more secure, and most importantly simple experience for users.“

Kasten streamlines application protection with the simplicity and portability that IT and operations teams need to operate cloud-native applications that use multiple data services and are instantiated across multiple clusters, regions or clouds. K10 protects backups with end-to-end encryption and includes S3 Object Lock immutable storage support from Wasabi to add a new level of data protection, preventing malicious attacks like ransomware or accidental operations that can lead to significant data loss or alteration.

“Data protection is a top-of-mind concern for organizations across the globe as with the growth in cyber-attacks like ransomware,” said Gaurav Rishi, VP of product, Kasten by Veeam. “Our partnership with Wasabi offers a solution with instantly accessible data and object-level immutability to deliver the simplicity, security and affordability our customers need to protect and optimize their Kubernetes investments.“
