Intratel offers enhanced native data protection for Kubernetes environments with Veeam Kasten, expanding support for virtual machines and cloud-native environments, including Red Hat OpenShift and Microsoft. Veeam Kasten also strengthens security features, enhancing ransomware protection and offering industry-first compliance with the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards).
The use of containers is steadily increasing: 59% of enterprises already use them in production, and another 37% are implementing or planning to do so. In response to the market demand for robust container security and expanded Kubernetes deployments, Veeam Kasten V7.0 boosts cyber resilience and drives innovation for enterprises, helping customers effectively protect and secure their applications and data.
These features are crucial for enabling businesses to modernize applications and migrate from traditional on-premises virtual machines (VMs), particularly through Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. This is possible even if companies are not yet ready to fully modernize their applications. The latest version of the solution expands its capabilities and further strengthens Veeam’s collaboration with Red Hat and Microsoft.
Key Benefits of Veeam Kasten:
- Expanded Kubernetes support: Protecting cloud-native environments alongside traditional virtual machines.
- Enhanced ransomware protection: Strengthening security to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
- Compliance with FIPS: Ensuring alignment with federal security standards for sensitive data.
- Integration with Red Hat OpenShift and Microsoft: Offering seamless compatibility and support for hybrid cloud environments.
- Simplified modernization and migration: Enabling smooth transitions to modern app architectures without full application overhaul.
Veeam Kasten V7.0 is designed to meet the growing demand for flexible and robust data protection in Kubernetes environments, ensuring businesses can continue their digital transformation with confidence.
Key features and improvements in Veeam Kasten include:
