At Veeam, we’ve always believed that the future of data protection lies in innovation, and that belief has driven our journey to Veeam Kasten. What began as Kasten K10 — a pioneering solution for Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery (DR) — has evolved into Veeam Kasten, a powerful tool that’s at the heart of our data protection platform. This evolution reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve and addressing the complex challenges that modern businesses face when it comes to securing their Kubernetes environments.

Pioneering Kubernetes Data Protection

When Kasten K10 first entered the scene, the landscape for Kubernetes data management was still developing. Kubernetes users needed something more than traditional backup solutions; they needed a platform built specifically for the unique demands of containerized environments. This is where Kasten K10 came in. From the beginning, it was designed to simplify application-centric backup, DR, and mobility in Kubernetes.

Our goal was clear: provide businesses with the ability to protect their Kubernetes workloads without complexity. With Kasten K10, users could manage backups across clusters, recover applications in the event of failure, and move workloads seamlessly between environments. It was the answer to the growing demand for Kubernetes-native solutions, and it quickly became an essential tool for enterprises who wanted to scale their Kubernetes deployments.

Raising the Bar: Security, Compliance, and Ransomware Protection

As businesses’ reliance on Kubernetes grew, so did the complexity of protecting those environments. With stricter compliance standards and rising threats like ransomware, organizations needed more than just backup — they needed assurance. That’s why we introduced features like immutable backups and air-gapped recovery to ensure that Veeam Kasten could deliver a level of protection that meets even the most demanding global regulations.

But we didn’t stop there! Veeam Kasten also integrates with leading cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to give businesses the flexibility to protect their data across any infrastructure. Whether you’re managing multi-cloud environments or staying on-premises, Veeam Kasten provides the freedom you need to build a protection strategy that works for your specific needs. Security and compliance don’t need to be a burden — that’s why they’re built into the very core of what we do.

Driving Value with Automation, AI, and Resilience

As Kubernetes has continued to mature, so have the tools needed to manage it. Today, Veeam Kasten goes beyond backup, offering advanced automation and AI-driven insights that empower businesses to proactively manage their data protection. Whether it’s reducing storage costs through global data deduplication or using AI-powered analytics to identify potential risks before they become issues, Veeam Kasten is designed to help you optimize your data protection with ease.

In a world where downtime is not an option, resiliency is critical. Veeam Kasten delivers automated DR orchestration to ensure that, in the event of an issue, your applications can come back online with minimal disruption. With our platform, you don’t just get protection — you get the confidence you need to innovate without worrying about the security of your data.

Why Veeam Kasten Stands Apart

Veeam Kasten isn’t just another tool — it’s part of a larger vision. We understand that every business is different, and our customer-centric approach means we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, Veeam Kasten is designed to be flexible, scalable, and ready to meet the unique needs of any enterprise, no matter where their data resides.

From cloud-native applications to hybrid cloud architectures, Veeam Kasten integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure and provides end-to-end data protection that aligns with your strategic goals. It’s about more than backup — it’s about giving you the power to make informed, resilient decisions that protect your business both today and tomorrow.
