Backblaze and Kasten by Veeam in Partnership

Backblaze, Inc. announced a partnership with Kasten by Veeam to enable companies to backup and restore Kubernetes applications using its B2 cloud storage service.

The partnership means companies managing backups of their Kubernetes containers with Kasten software can designate the Backblaze B2 platform as their storage destination to:

• backup and restore production stateful Kubernetes applications.
• Safeguard application data from ransomware encryption with object lock for immutability.
• Support regulatory compliance and/or corporate DR mandates.

“Kubernetes containers are the standard for many organizations building, deploying, and scaling applications with portability and efficiency,” said Nilay Patel, VP sales and partnerships, Backblaze. “Backblaze and Kasten together offer a compelling solution to support these organizations’ BC needs with set-it-and-forget-it ease and cost effectiveness.“

The joint solution is scalable at enterprise grade and organizations only pay for storage used, with no data retention penalties for deleting past backups.

“Backup and protection are paramount in a world in which data is everything and cyberattacks continue to rise,” said Gaurav Rishi, VP of product, Kasten by Veeam. “The Backblaze-Kasten partnership offers the application protection and DR support companies seek, with flexibility and freedom to choose their preferred storage partner.“
