Kasten launches to simplify data management for container apps.
Kasten is a new startup that emerged from stealth today aiming to help companies better manage their data in an era of containerized applications.
While software containers are great at providing a portable, isolated, and lightweight execution environment for applications, they’re not as good at working natively with applications that need to maintain an internal state. Kasten’s software, K10, helps with this by tracking data on a per-container level and allowing customers to set up rules for how it should be managed.
K10 should help fix several of the key problems with managing data with containerized applications, including compliance monitoring, backup, and migration.
For example, customers using Kasten’s K10 software could save a record of a multi-container application, including all of the associated data, then migrate it to another environment managed by Kubernetes (an open source system for orchestrating multi-container applications) with a few clicks.
