Zadara teams with Kasten by Veeam

Zadara has introduced a new validated solution with Kasten by Veeam, the leader in Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery. This combined offering of Zadara zCompute, zStorage and the Kasten K10 data management platform delivers an integrated and validated data protection solution with complete backup, disaster recovery (DR) and application mobility for Kubernetes environments.   

Zadara’s 100%-OpEx multi-tier zStorage combined with Kasten K10 simplifies operations, improves performance and reduces the risks associated with managing complex storage. The ability to move an application across Kubernetes clusters enables a variety of use cases including DR, Test/Dev and performance testing in isolated environments. Kasten K10 supports seamless application migration and mobility across namespaces, clusters, clouds, cloud accounts and regions including Zadara's Global Edge Cloud locations.

"Legacy backup systems were not designed to comprehensively safeguard this next generation of cloud native applications deployed in Kubernetes,” said Nelson Nahum, CTO, Zadara. “Zadara is a leader in providing business driven outcomes across multiple storage tiers and shift capacity to where the application needs it. In partnering with Kasten by Veeam, we’re bringing to market a combined offering that protects data from myriad threats, including bad actors and the havoc they unleash, technology failures, even natural disasters.”                                                                                        

The Zadara and Kasten by Veeam data management solution is purpose built for Kubernetes using cloud native principles and APIs, with a multi-cluster management interface, cloud native API, providing support for Kubernetes-native RBAC, Auth, encryption with KMS, and data immutability to defeat ransomware.

“Developers are relied upon to rapidly develop and deploy applications that accelerate digital transformation. They are looking for infrastructure that supports these ever-evolving business initiatives,” said Gaurav Rishi, VP of Product at Kasten by Veeam. “The combination of Zadara zStorage, zCompute and Kasten K10 offers an agile, cost-effective solution eliminating the need for CapEx storage purchases, support contracts, and disruptive data migrations.”

“Kubernetes is fast becoming the platform of choice for cloud-native applications. Its flexibility is enabling companies of all sizes to take advantage of containers and is in turn changing the data protection landscape,” said Richard May, Managing Director of virtualDCS. “Our CloudCover K8s solution is a unique service for protecting Kubernetes workloads, combining the power of Kasten by Veeam and Zadara technologies to create a cloud-adjacent disaster recovery (DR) solution. This enables customers to take a holistic approach to their data protection and allows for simultaneous orchestration of both Kubernetes and legacy environments to recover as part of a single DR plan.”
