Veeam Kasten K10 Enterprise Edition + Basic Support - Upfront Billing License - 1 Node - 2 Year

Introducing Veeam Kasten K10 Enterprise Edition with Basic Support on an Upfront Billing plan — a robust, Kubernetes-native data management solution designed to protect your cloud-native applications with confidence. This 1-node license spans a full 2-year term, giving you predictable budgeting and enduring protection for mission-critical workloads. Kasten K10 is built to safeguard modern, containerized environments, delivering automated backups, application-aware protection, disaster recovery, and easy restore capabilities across Kubernetes clusters. The combination of enterprise-grade features and a long-term license helps you minimize risk, reduce downtime, and accelerate recovery — all while keeping your operations simple and cost-efficient. The 2-year validation ensures your software stays up and running, so your team can focus on delivering value rather than worrying about data loss or outages. Whether you’re protecting databases, stateful services, or complex microservices stacks, this license provides peace of mind and reliable performance for a single Kubernetes node.

• Comprehensive Kubernetes-native backup and disaster recovery for cloud-native apps and data, including stateful workloads such as databases, queues, and caches. Kasten K10 delivers application-aware protection with consistent backups across your Kubernetes resources, ensuring you can restore entire apps or individual components with minimal downtime.
• Policy-based automation and application-aware protection that minimizes application downtime with consistent backups and rapid restores. Define fine-grained backup policies by namespace, workload, or label, schedule backups to fit your RPO requirements, and automatically verify backups to prevent surprises during a disaster.
• Upfront 2-year license with Basic Support, delivering predictable costs and ongoing access to essential updates and technical assistance. This license model simplifies procurement and budgeting while ensuring you have access to core support services during the term.
• Single-node deployment coverage that is ideal for small clusters and edge environments, with scalable protection options as your environment grows. The 1-node license provides solid protection for a focused workload footprint, and you can augment coverage with additional licenses to support larger, multi-node deployments if needed.
• Fast, reliable recovery options, ransomware-aware backups, test restores, and easy restore into new clusters or cloud regions to accelerate recovery time objectives (RTOs). Kasten K10 supports non-disruptive restores to multiple targets, helping you verify data integrity and resume operations quickly after an incident.

How to install Veeam Kasten K10 Enterprise Edition

Getting Kasten K10 up and running on your Kubernetes cluster involves a straightforward, production-ready sequence. Follow these steps to deploy the controller, connect your backup storage, and begin protecting your workloads with policy-driven protection and automated verification. The steps are designed to be resilient across common cloud providers and on-prem environments, ensuring you can start protecting critical apps with confidence.

• Prerequisites: Ensure you have a healthy Kubernetes cluster (recommended version aligned with Kasten K10 documentation), kubectl access configured for cluster management, and sufficient compute, memory, and storage resources to run both the K10 components and your protected workloads. Prepare your backup target (object storage or repository) with appropriate credentials and permissions.
• Obtain and apply the license: Retrieve your Upfront Billing license for 1 Node and the 2-year term from your vendor portal. Prepare the license key or manifest so the Kasten operator can operate under the correct entitlements from Day 1 of deployment.
• Install the Kasten K10 controller: Deploy the Kasten K10 controller and user interface into your Kubernetes cluster using the recommended deployment method (such as Helm or the official quick-start manifest). Follow security best practices for namespace separation and RBAC roles, and ensure the controller has access to the required storage resources and permissions to manage backups.
• Configure backup targets and namespaces: Connect Kasten K10 to your backup store and define the namespaces or workloads you want to protect. Create a baseline policy that covers the most critical applications, then extend protection to additional teams or projects as needed. Ensure the policy accounts for retention, frequency, and testing requirements.
• Create and test backups: Trigger initial backups for your protected workloads, then perform a controlled restore to validate recovery procedures. Use the Kasten dashboard to monitor job status, verify data integrity, and schedule regular test restores to maintain confidence in your DR capabilities.
