The document, authored by Krista Macomber and Russ Fellows and published by The Futurum Group in June 2023, evaluates Kasten K10 versus open-source data protection tools for Kubernetes (K8s) environments.

Key points of comparison between Kasten K10 and open-source tools (e.g., Velero with Restic) include: Kasten K10 offers centralized multi-cluster management, application-consistent backups, higher protection and recovery speed, and enterprise security features like RBAC. Open-source tools require manual processes, increasing risks and operational costs.
