Challenges with Veeam Kasten — Solved by CloudCasa
Kubernetes backup shouldn’t be complex or costly, but with Veeam Kasten it often is. Teams face challenges like multi-cluster management, limited recovery options, and unpredictable licensing costs. CloudCasa eliminates these pain points with a simpler, more flexible, and cost-effective solution that delivers enterprise-grade protection without the overhead.
True multi-cluster management
- Pain: Kasten requires cluster-by-cluster setup, adding complexity and overhead.
- Solution: CloudCasa provides centralized management for on-prem, cloud, and edge clusters — no extra configuration.
- Benefit: Simplify operations, reduce errors, and save time with a single pane of glass.
Advanced recovery capabilities
- Pain: Kasten needs add-ons for VM recovery and requires Veeam for VM file recovery. It also doesn’t support single-file PVC restores.
- Solution: CloudCasa delivers built-in recovery for namespaces, PVCs, single-file restores from PVCs, and even VMs — all without external products.
- Benefit: Faster recovery, fewer tools, and lower risk for your Kubernetes workloads.
High cost and complex licensing
- Pain: Kasten’s licensing is complicated and drives up total cost of ownership.
- Solution: CloudCasa offers transparent, node-based pricing with SaaS or self-hosted options — up to 50% lower TCO.
- Benefit: Predictable costs and significant savings without sacrificing enterprise-grade protection.
