Kasten: Data Protection and Portability Across Hybrid Clouds and Container Clusters

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Kasten - K10 - logo - Intellyx Brain CandyUnderneath the ideal approach of migrating enterprise applications and infrastructure to hybrid cloud environments, deployed into nice, clean container clusters, there still remains a big hairy problem: bringing terabytes of enterprise data along for the ride.

Kasten Founder and CEO Niraj Tolia experienced the challenges of managing enterprise data centers as virtualization and cloud started taking hold. Now his company’s K10 Platform envisions this process as a single ‘data pipeline’ that can protect data in transit from unauthorized use or unintended copies.

K10 helps migrate these huge data stores when needed by applications into any well-known public cloud or on-premises virtualized or container-based infrastructure such as that managed by Kubernetes clusters.

“We are serving developers who don’t want to worry about data persistence, no matter what storage they use,” said Tolia. “Working from the application down, how do we make the data portable? This allows late binding to an internal cloud, on premises, then moving to a public cloud.”

The company supports an array of data protection features for hybrid cloud and multi-cluster architectures, including data recovery and backup, failover protection, compliance auditing and test/dev data environments.
