These latest product updates and enhancements will further enable our 400,000+ customers to protect, recover and manage their data wherever it resides.”

Enterprise customers are taking advantage of containers’ flexibility and power, but fragmented solutions make backup, recovery, and insight into container backups difficult. Customers of K10 and Veeam will be able to leverage current backup infrastructure investments thanks to the new integration introduced as part of Veeam Backup & Replication v11a. Kasten K10 v4.5 will be able to direct backups of Kubernetes clusters using VMware persistent volumes to a Veeam Backup & Replication repository, where the backup’s lifecycle can be managed and additional Veeam features and capabilities can be used.

Nutanix AHV 6.0 or later is required for this capability.
