“As these new platforms become critical to day-to-day business operations, they must be protected with flexible and reliable data protection and management solutions to ensure they are resilient,” she said.

“Veeam’s purpose is to power data resilience to ensure every business keeps running no matter what happens. We are very proud to join forces with LSD Open, a leader in everything open source to provide a focused managed Kubernetes service, creating a comprehensive Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystem offering for the Middle East and Africa region.

“This partnership will bring the power of Veaam Kasten technology and the world-class knowledge and skills provided by LSD Open together. Moreover, it allows customers to feel confident that they can grow with the confidence that their applications are secure and resilient against today’s modern threats.”

Impact of the New Partnership on Businesses

More businesses today are leaning towards the scalability and mobility that Kubernetes provides to their application platforms, and that brings with it some unique concerns and risks.

Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes eliminates some of those concerns by offering robust protection and recovery of the entire Kubernetes application – not just the data service – to overcome outages, misconfigurations, and security threats that could compromise application availability. 

LSD Open also works with customer backup teams to implement the solution, ensuring that the customer is always in control of their own data, backup, and disaster recovery processes.
