Kasten

Kasten (now Veeam Kasten) built the K10 platform, the leading Kubernetes-native data protection solution for backup, disaster recovery, application mobility, and ransomware protection. Founded in 2017 by Niraj Tolia and Vaibhav Kamra, the platform auto-discovers containerized applications and uses Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) to protect stateful workloads across Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, Red Hat OpenShift, SUSE Rancher, and other distributions. Kasten supports cloud storage targets including Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud Storage, and integrates with policy engines such as OPA and Kyverno. Veeam acquired Kasten in October 2020, and it operates as an independent Kubernetes Business Unit within Veeam.
