Kasten, the market leader for
Kubernetes Data Management, today announced that the company's flagship
platform,
Kasten K10,
is available on VMware Cloud Marketplace. Kasten's
collaboration with VMware enables enterprise IT and DevOps groups to
immediately realize the benefits of a software-centric, Kubernetes data
management solution. The K10 data management platform provides backup/restore,
application mobility, and disaster recovery for vSphere customers with
Kubernetes-based applications.
VMware Cloud
Marketplace enables customers to discover and
deploy validated, third-party solutions for VMware-based platforms - across
public, private and hybrid cloud environments. Once validated, partners can
easily publish their solutions for VMware customers across platforms. Customers
will be able to access these third-party partner solutions directly from their
cloud environments, while also being able to experience the convenience of
features such as notifications, reporting, and analytics.
Kasten architected Kasten K10 specifically to
address Day 2 data management challenges for cloud-native applications. Kasten
K10 provide VMware customers with a Kubernetes backup and mobility solution,
including:
- Zero-touch
Application Backup and Recovery: Kasten K10 with its unique application-aware approach
dynamically maps data management policies to the current state of the
application running on VMware PKS clusters. This can be accomplished
without requiring any developer or CI/CD pipeline changes and K10 is
pre-integrated with relational and NoSQL data services.
- Seamless
Operations and Portability: Kasten K10 enables Disaster Recovery workflows across
VMware PKS including cross-region application migration. Managed public
cloud Kubernetes clusters are also supported with seamless data conversion
between infrastructure formats when needed.
- Enterprise-grade
Reliability and Ease of Use: Kasten K10 manages backups at scale through automation
and a very easy to use graphical interface avoiding the need for custom
scripting for data management and compliance. "Must have" authentication
and authorization functions like RBAC are natively integrated into the
solution along with extensible workflows.
"Kasten is very excited
to be a part of the VMware Cloud Marketplace," said Gaurav Rishi, Head of
Product for Kasten. "We believe that the pace of Kubernetes applications in
production will accelerate further with VMware's recent Tanzu portfolio
releases that make Kubernetes a first-class citizen in vSphere environments."
"We are
pleased to see Kasten K10 available on VMware
Cloud Marketplace," said Ramya Sarangarajan,
Director within VMware's Cloud Services group. "Validated technologies, such as
Kasten K10, enable our customers to build, run
and manage their applications effectively and efficiently. We're excited to
work with partners such as Kasten to empower customers to derive the most value
from their cloud investments."
