Kasten by Veeam announced today that the Kasten K10 Kubernetes data management platform was named Product of the Year by TechTarget's Storage magazine and SearchStorage in the Backup and Disaster Recovery hardware, software and services category. Kasten K10 was recognized for its innovation in Kubernetes backup and recovery and its comprehensive features, including automation and data and application migration in Kubernetes deployments, which deliver functionality, value and ease of use.

According to SearchStorage, Kasten K10 is "one of the few products to address the needs of container data management with support for all major Kubernetes products and cloud services," and "a clear leader in Kubernetes backup."

Kasten K10 offers Kubernetes-native backup, disaster recovery, and application migration capabilities that make it easy to protect and scale Kubernetes deployments and operate increasingly complex modern IT environments. Purpose-built for Kubernetes with operational simplicity in mind, K10 offers users a quick to deploy and easy to use data management platform accommodates complex applications with high degrees of automation and portability so cloud and operations teams can ensure productivity, scalability, and security.

"Kubernetes adoption continues to grow and, with this, so does the complexity and scale of modern enterprise IT environments. In these environments, data management becomes critically important for flexibility, performance and security," said Niraj Tolia, President and GM, Kasten by Veeam. "This latest recognition for K10 underscores its ability to dramatically reduce Kubernetes complexity and deliver innovation, security and operational simplicity to support data management at the cloud-native scale enterprises and DevOps teams demand."

Receiving over 100 entries, the gold win in the SearchStorage Products of the Year competition recognizes Kasten's success in fully addressing the data management and protection needs of firms operating in Kubernetes. The award comes shortly after recognition in Cloud Computing Magazine as a Cloud Computing Backup and Disaster Recovery Award winner, alongside the launch of the latest version of the Kasten K10 v3.0, which introduced new capabilities that enable enterprises to deploy Kasten's Kubernetes-native backup, disaster recovery, and application migration capabilities across multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments and multi-tenant cloud environments.
