Kubernetes has crossed the threshold from modern choice to baseline expectation. The 2025 CNCF Annual Cloud Native Survey confirms what platform teams already know from experience: Kubernetes is now the standard infrastructure for containerized workloads, and the organizations running it are no longer early adopters experimenting in a sandbox. Instead, they are enterprises with production-critical applications, complex multi-site environments, regulatory obligations, and no tolerance for unplanned downtime. The infrastructure is mature, but the protection strategies haven't always kept up. Read more

Running OpenShift Virtualization at enterprise scale surfaces three challenges that don't go away on their own: Protecting large VM estates efficiently without full-image backup overhead, maintaining consistent coverage as environments grow and change, and getting fleet-wide visibility without managing every cluster independently.

Cloud data security is the set of technologies, policies, and controls that protect data stored in, processed by, or moving through cloud environments. It covers data in all three states: At rest, in transit, and in use. Read more

Modern applications have crossed a tipping point. What once began as isolated modernization efforts—containerizing select services, experimenting with Kubernetes, or migrating workloads to the cloud—has become a full-scale transformation. Today, modern apps are not experimental outliers; they are the foundation of how organizations deliver value. Read more

For many years, the hypervisor conversation wasn’t on top of everyone’s mind. Most organizations had a stable virtualization platform, mature operational procedures, backup and recovery tooling, monitoring, patching workflows, and people who knew exactly what to do when something went wrong.

Azure now hosts some of the most business-critical workloads organizations run, which means when something goes wrong, the pressure to recover is immediate. Outages, accidental deletion, misconfigurations, insider threats, and ransomware can all disrupt operations in minutes. In that moment, the question isn’t whether you have backups. It’s whether those backups are secure, isolated, and actually recoverable when the stakes are highest. Read more

Most IT teams don’t set out to build a Frankenstein backup environment. Instead, it happens gradually. A backup tool here. A third-party storage bucket there.

Before long, you’ve got multiple vendors, various support contracts, and a recovery plan that only works if every piece of it cooperates at exactly the right moment.

This is the quiet risk hiding in a lot of DIY object storage deployments (e.g., Wasabi). It’s not that they’re bad products, but it’s that “backup software from one vendor, cloud storage from another” creates a seam. And seams fail.

Veeam Data Cloud Vault was built to eliminate that seam entirely.

What “Stitched Together” Actually Costs You

When you pair Veeam backup software with ... Read more

If you’re already evaluating small business backup software, you’re probably past the point of needing another article about why backup matters. You already know it does. The harder question is which product will actually help you recover when something breaks, and which one just looks good in a comparison chart. This is where a lot of SMB evaluations go wrong.

Identity attacks are no longer a question of "if"; they’re a question of "when." Microsoft's Digital Defense Report recorded 600 million identity-based attacks every single day in 2024. In fact, 93% of all cyberattacks now target identity systems, and 58% of organizations expect that number to grow. If your organization relies on Microsoft Entra ID, which virtually every modern enterprise does, you need a plan not just to resist these attacks, but to recover from them quickly and completely when one gets through.

As you may be aware, Red Hat OpenShift is emerging as a strong contender to be a single platform for all workloads: Containerized applications, AI, and virtual machines. With Veeam Kasten — Kubernetes-native data protection backed by a long-standing Red Hat partnership and proven at scale across cloud and air-gapped hybrid deployments —organizations can modernize with confidence, as traditional virtualization platforms fall short for cloud-native, declarative architectures.
