Kasten, the market leader for Kubernetes Data
Management, today announced the general availability of
Kasten K10 v2.5. Purpose-built for Kubernetes,
K10 provides enterprise operations teams with an easy-to-use, scalable, and
secure system for backup and restore, disaster recovery, and mobility of
Kubernetes applications. The new release incorporates Kasten's Cloud-Native Transformation Framework to enhance the automation and reliability
of application and data migration in Kubernetes environments.
"Cloud-native
is a critical part of the Kasten DNA, and we've developed the transformation
framework to optimize the benefits of Kubernetes application backup and
mobility at scale," said Gaurav Rishi, Head of Products, Kasten. "Our
Kubernetes-native data management capabilities have created a new standard for
data security, reliability, and performance in the backup and disaster recovery
market. This has been instrumental in our customers' efforts to protect data
and accelerate workload migration."
Traditional
backup and disaster recovery solutions do not work in today's cloud-native
environments resulting in scalability issues and data loss. Kasten K10's
Cloud-Native Transformation Framework introduces new capabilities as part of
its Data Transformation Engine that captures both underlying data and metadata
for application backup and mobility in Kubernetes environments. These include
parallel data transfers, lock-free algorithms, pluggable encryption and
compression, advanced deduplication, and smaller fault domains that ensure
backup efficiency and increased reliability for cloud-native applications and
infrastructure.
K10's
new Application Transformation Engine introduces additional capabilities, such
as intelligent resource transforms that reduce the manual effort, complexity,
and risk associated with migration of data and workloads between Kubernetes
environments. This critical capability simplifies backup and restore and
disaster recovery, enabling enterprises with improved flexibility and
adaptability by taking captured data and making
it suitable for use in a different destination than where it originated.
"We
initially started using Kasten K10 for backup and disaster recovery, but as its
new capabilities for data migration were added, we've been able to apply it to
successfully migrate hundreds of projects from not just OpenShift 3.11 to
OpenShift 4.2 but also across storage systems," said Michael Courcy,
Architecte DevOps, Sopra Steria. "K10's migration and intelligent
transform capabilities delivered a powerful but simple, reliable and secure
solution that matched our scalability needs as we made major updates to our
infrastructure."
K10's
application-centric approach and deep integrations with relational and NoSQL
databases, Kubernetes distributions, and all clouds give IT teams the freedom
of infrastructure choice without sacrificing operational simplicity.
Policy-driven and extensible, K10 provides a native Kubernetes API and includes
features such as full-spectrum consistency, database integrations, automatic
application discovery, multi-cloud mobility, and a powerful web-based user
interface.
