Veeam\u00ae Software<\/a>, the leader in Backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management™, today announced it has acquired Kasten<\/a>,\u00a0the market leader for Kubernetes Backup and Disaster Recovery, in a cash and stock transaction valued at $150M. According to 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, nearly three-quarters of organizations are currently using or planning to use Kubernetes within the next two years.[i]<\/a> Veeam believes this shift creates a massive opportunity for the future of data protection and the acquisition reinforces its commitment to support customers\u2019 business transformation to future-ready architectures. With this new acquisition, Veeam will integrate Kasten into its market-leading Cloud Data Management platform for modern data protection and radically simplify data management for enterprises.<\/p>\n

As applications using microservice-based architectures have quickly gained traction in the enterprise, this shift has established a new segment of application development methodology known as DevOps. Containers are a critical component of this DevOps-led infrastructure and application modernization, and Kubernetes has emerged as the dominant container orchestration platform \u2013 creating a significant opportunity for a single data protection platform that includes virtual, physical, cloud and Kubernetes environments. Veeam recognizes the strategic importance of this environment, the increasing importance of providing modern data management that is deeply integrated into Kubernetes, and the growth of DevOps to improve quality, increase scalability, and accelerate application delivery while reducing daily management. With the Kasten K10 Data Management Platform,<\/a> Veeam will now be able to offer enterprise operations teams an easy-to-use, scalable, and secure system for Kubernetes Backup and application mobility with unparalleled operational simplicity.<\/p>\n

\u201cVeeam was built on offering the best data protection for virtual and modern data infrastructures, and we have continued to expand our offerings to include industry-leading protection for physical and cloud environments,\u201d said Danny Allan, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam<\/strong>. \u201cWith the acquisition of our partner Kasten, we are taking a very important next step to accommodate our customers\u2019 shift to container adoption in order to protect Kubernetes-native workloads on-premises and across multi-cloud environments. This significant milestone strengthens Veeam\u2019s commitment to continue to deliver the industry\u2019s leading Cloud Data Management platform that will support data protection for container-based applications built in Kubernetes environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Kasten K10 platform will continue to be available independently, it will also be integrated into Veeam Backup & Replication™ to offer a comprehensive data management solution. With Kasten\u2019s protection of container workloads and Veeam support for virtual machines, physical servers, SaaS applications and cloud workloads, this best of breed technology will provide all organizations a single platform for modern data protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enterprise landscape is shifting as applications rapidly transition from monoliths to containers and microservices,\u201d said Niraj Tolia, Chief Executive Officer at Kasten. \u201cWith Kubernetes at the core of this infrastructural shift, Kasten’s innovation in Kubernetes-native data management combined with Veeam’s expertise in Backup, both on-premises and in multi-cloud environments, will significantly advance the state of modern data management. Veeam’s success has been a beacon of inspiration for the Kasten team and we are very excited to join forces with a company where there is so much philosophical alignment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kasten will operate as a separate Kubernetes Business Unit (BU) within Veeam. Kasten\u2019s founders, Niraj Tolia and Vaibhav Kamra, will lead the business unit \u2013 Tolia as its President and General Manager, and Kamra as Chief Technology Officer, Kubernetes BU. All teams including sales, marketing, R&D, and customer service will stay intact to continue growing the business with increased investment in people and resources.<\/p>\n

Veeam\u2019s commitment to the Kubernetes community will also continue through the contribution to Open Source and other community projects that Kasten has supported, including the Kubernetes Storage Special Interest Group and the Data Protection Working Group in Kubernetes, which aim to improve storage operations and promote data protection support for the Kubernetes user base. Additionally, Veeam will continue to support\u00a0Kanister<\/a>, Kasten\u2019s open source project that extends support for and execution of data management tasks in Kubernetes, and the development of\u00a0kopia<\/a>, a fast and secure open-source tool to manage Backups.<\/p>\n

\u201cContainers in microservice architectures are foundational to many emerging cloud-native applications. Protecting and recovering containerized environments has very different requirements from virtual infrastructure alone. The Veeam-Kasten\u00a0combination could allow enterprises to protect and recover Kubernetes-based cloud-native container applications along with virtual and physical workloads from a single cloud data management framework. With both vendors being part of the Insight Partner\u2019s portfolio, and Veeam already partnering with Kasten to enable application centric container data protection capabilities, this acquisition seems like a natural next step.\u00a0Having Kasten now be a part of Veeam positions the combination very well to meet the majority of data protection and recovery needs for multi-cloud environments.\u201d \u2013 Phil Goodwin, research director, IDC<\/p>\n

“We are excited to see Veeam and Kasten coming together to deliver the leading Kubernetes-native Backup solution. Given our use of Veeam to protect our critical business data and infrastructure and the increasing footprint of Kubernetes in our environment, this combined solution will provide us with the flexibility to protect our applications and data, no matter what environment they are deployed in, and the ease-of-use to help scale our teams. Knowing that we have the right Backup and disaster recovery infrastructure in place for both virtualized and cloud-native environments will allow our teams to move faster and with confidence.\u201d \u2013 Markus Kretzer, Head of IT, Buhl Data Service<\/p>\n
