Kubernetes has moved from emerging technology to essential infrastructure. It’s no longer just a container orchestration platform — it’s the foundation of modern cloud operations and a key enabler for AI driven‑ applications. Read more

The Kubernetes landscape expands every year with more clusters, more workloads, and more AI. However, one constant remains: the Veeam Kasten juggernaut. For the sixth year in a row, Veeam has been named a leader and outperformer in the newest edition of the GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes Data Protection Report, setting the standard for Kubernetes resilience Read more

Virtualization used to be straightforward: Partition the hardware, run more workloads, and watch the savings roll in. Unfortunately, that world is behind us. Read more

Traditional type-one hypervisor customers are at a crossroads. According to a 2024 survey by Rimini Street, 98% of organizations that currently use VMware are either actively exploring or have already adopted alternative platforms in response to evolving pricing, support models, and long-term uncertainty.

Like many emerging technologies, the marketing narrative and hype for AI technology deployment on Kubernetes is ahead of reality. Survey data from industry reports show that 90 percent of enterprises expect their AI workloads on Kubernetes to grow over the next 12 months, and 54% of enterprises say they already run some AI ML workloads on Kubernetes clusters. However, a very low percentage of companies have currently deployed AI-powered systems like knowledge platforms by using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems (RAGs) in their production environments.

Earlier this year, Veeam Kasten launched support for exporting of secure snapshots to VDC Vault. This allows Kasten admins to protect their Kubernetes stateful data and take advantage of the built-in security and redundancy protection features natively provided by VDC Vault as a securely managed storage platform. The new integrated model allows Kubernetes admins to check three key application data protection and mobility requirements from their enterprise policy compliance list: ransomware protection, application migration, and cost.

Hybrid and cloud-native approaches are no longer experimental; they’re foundational. In fact, 73% of organizations already run a hybrid cloud strategy, and that number keeps climbing as businesses look for the flexibility to optimize cost, performance, and resilience. Read more

Robust security measures are not mere features; they are essential components of any viable product or service. Security must be ingrained in every aspect of design and operation of software. With rapid advancements in AI and the looming influence of quantum computing, the state of “secure enough” has changed dramatically. Technologies that promise groundbreaking capabilities bring along significant new vulnerabilities; they must stay ahead of the curve to protect sensitive data and maintain trust in their systems.

First, let’s take a quick look at the complicated nature of lock-in versus lock out. Vendor lock-In occurs when a company gets stuck relying on a specific technology or service from a particular cloud provider. This makes it difficult and expensive to switch providers or technologies. It’s a bit of a trap when you become too dependent on one company. On the other hand, vendor lock-out happens if a company loses access to its data or services supplied by a cloud provider. It can happen if there are disputes, payment issues, or problems on the vendor’s side. This situation can resemble being banned from your own digital tools and information. Read more

As the Department of Defense (DoD) rapidly modernizes its digital infrastructure, we are pleased to announce that Veeam Kasten is now awardable in the P1 Marketplace, marking an important advancement in securing cloud-native applications at scale. Read more
