Kasten unveiled new automation and infrastructure portability capabilities for its solution, the K10 Enterprise Data Management platform at KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2020. Purpose-built for Kubernetes, K10 provides enterprise operations teams with easy-to-use, scalable, and secure Kubernetes backup and restore, disaster recovery, and application mobility. The new capabilities will help organizations scale their cloud native infrastructure and Kubernetes applications in order to support global business growth and ensure compliance with regional data sovereignty laws, including GDPR. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has noted that Europe has the high rate of container adoption worldwide. The increased adoption of DevOps methodologies in the region as well as associated cloud native technologies like containers and Kubernetes is having a profound impact on innovation and business transformation. As a result, the demand for Kubernetes-native solutions that address key business challenges - such as Day 2 operational challenges like backup and portability of Kubernetes applications in production - is accelerating. Because of the growing demand for solutions that support more robust cloud native environments, Kasten's newest capabilities in the K10 Enterprise Data Management platform improve the automation of data management and simplify infrastructure portability across varying cloud environments and geographies. These include: Automation with Policies: K10 supports extensible policies that provide consistency across a growing list of modern databases and storage infrastructures based on an application's protection requirements. K10's level of automation helps cloud and operations teams work seamlessly across multiple applications and apply forward-looking data policies that can automatically protect applications and ensure they comply with regional data regulations as they are deployed and scaled. Infrastructure Portability: K10's Application Transformation Engine empowers CloudOps teams to provide application portability benefits at a massive scale - across infrastructures and storage systems as well as geographies and regions. This capability has been further enhanced with pre-built templates and expanded support for Azure disks, GCE Persistent Disks and AWS EBS. Secure Self-Service: K10 introduces deeper RBAC integrations that improve self-service capabilities in Kubernetes. This provides teams with greater visibility and enhanced control over backup and disaster recovery policies for authorized applications to promote data protection and meet corporate and regulatory mandates.
