Infinidat and Veeam promote VMware migration to Red Hat OpenShift

Infinidat and Veeam have launched a joint initiative emphasizing the migration of VMware workloads to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (RHOS-V), aiming to provide immutable backups essential for enterprise-scale data protection. This initiative targets organizations dealing with large petabyte-scale virtualization workloads, characterized by billions of files that need secure migration. By leveraging Infinidat’s storage capabilities, customers can effectively back up their virtual environments through an integration that enhances efficiency and scalability in managing Kubernetes workloads. Recently, Veeam’s Kasten v7.5 software was released, which specifically supports RHOS-V and offers improved backup solutions, achieving significantly faster backup speeds. The software is engineered to meet the increasing demands for robust data protection in environments that utilize Kubernetes technologies. The support for multiple clusters and compliance with strict US government benchmarks further enhance its applicability across various operational contexts. Infinidat’s InfiniBox storage systems are central to this migration strategy, offering capabilities that allow scaling up to hundreds of thousands of persistent volumes. With additional integrations, such as support for NetApp, Veeam aims to provide its clients with a comprehensive protection solution that addresses the modern infrastructure needs of large enterprises. The collaborative effort between Infinidat, Veeam, and Red Hat is also intended to simplify and enhance the container storage environments that businesses depend on for their digital infrastructures. As the virtualization landscapes continue to evolve, organizations are increasingly reliant on solutions that not only support traditional virtualization but are also adequately equipped for future needs. The alliance between these companies signifies a substantial push towards embracing container technology, enabling clients to effectively manage their workloads while ensuring high levels of performance and security across their storage systems.
