Veeam Kasten is the first enterprise-ready data protection solution to be hosted on Iron Bank, a major milestone for US federal cloud-native security

Veeam^® Software, the #1 global leader by market share in Data Resilience, today announced that Veeam Kasten has achieved “Awardable” status through the Department of Defense (DoD) Platform One (P1) Solutions Marketplace. The P1 Solutions Marketplace is a digital repository of post-competition, 5-minute long readily-awardable pitch videos, which address the Government’s most stringent requirements in hardware, software and service solutions.

As organizations increasingly rely on Kubernetes for containerized applications and VMs, the need for robust data resilience – including backup and disaster recovery solutions – becomes critical. The dynamic nature of containers complicates traditional backup strategies. Without proper backup and recovery processes in place, organizations risk data loss, service disruption, financial impact, and adverse mission outcomes, making backup and disaster recovery essential for mission continuity and data integrity. Veeam Kasten provides comprehensive backup and disaster recovery, application mobility and ransomware protection for mission critical Kubernetes workloads. Whether managing large-scale migrations, ensuring resilient operations, or automating data protection and recovery, Veeam Kasten delivers unmatched reliability, security and usability.

Veeam Kasten is the first enterprise-ready data protection solution to be hosted on Iron Bank – the vetted repository of assessed containers, purpose-built to enable the rapid, scalable, and secure deployment of applications across the DoD. Veeam Kasten images are available for P1 users to deploy on their Kubernetes clusters with confidence and ease, reducing deployment times from months or years to just weeks.

“As the DoD accelerates the adoption of emerging technology, the inclusion of Veeam Kasten in the P1 Marketplace demonstrates our commitment to delivering secure, data resilience for Kubernetes,” said Gaurav Rishi, Vice President of Product Management at Veeam. “This milestone allows us to better support government agencies and contractors with a comprehensive solution for their Kubernetes application workloads, maximizing operational efficiency and enhancing data resilience in today’s complex IT landscape.

“While most backup tools retrofit container support, Veeam Kasten was built for Kubernetes from day one, with native APIs, hardened images, and zero-trust architecture. Veeam Kasten is uniquely purpose-built – combining the industry’s first FIPS 140-3-validated Kubernetes protection, P1 Iron Bank-hardened images, and automated SBOM generation – to enable federal agencies to meet stringent cyber resilience mandates without compromising innovation. We’re excited to continue supporting the defense community with our industry-leading solutions and further strengthening Veeam Kasten’s capability to secure Kubernetes data and support the DoD mission.”

Veeam Kasten’s video, Veeam Kasten for US Fed in Five Minutes, is now accessible by government customers on the P1 Solutions Marketplace. It presents an actual use case in which the company provides the what, why, and how of Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes and highlights how Veeam Kasten can help US Federal agencies and organizations protect their cloud native VM and container workloads.

Veeam Kasten was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the P1 Solutions Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on DoD missions.
