Veeam Kasten and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Reference Architecture

Red Hat OpenShift has become the de facto standard for enterprise cloud-native orchestration platforms. OpenShift offers wide support for multiple hardware and infrastructure platforms, both on-premises and in the public cloud. With the introduction of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, where virtual machines (VMs) can run adjacent to containerized applications in one platform, comes additional agility and flexibility for customers who embrace cloud native architecture and IT transformation.

As organizations modernize from an infrastructure-centric virtualization approach toward the application-centric approach of cloud-native computing, OpenShift Virtualization provides the platform, tooling, and ecosystem required to support an array of use cases at scale. While Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization provide “day 1” and “day 2” capabilities to manage workloads, Veeam Kasten provides the requisite data protection, mobility, disaster recovery (DR), and ransomware protection that enterprise and public sector organizations need for containerized and VM workloads. This document serves as a guide to help you deploy these solutions together in a standardized, repeatable, and referenceable pattern.
