Protect

Data Security & Disaster Recovery

Near-zero RPO with continuous real-time backup. Recover from ransomware, human error, or infrastructure failure in minutes — not hours.

Business Benefits

Business Continuity

Minimized Downtime

Data Resilience

Ransomware Recovery

Compliance Readiness

Low Infrastructure Footprint

How it works

DR ensures that critical systems can be restored quickly, minimizing the operational disruption and financial loss associated with unplanned outages. Compressed backups (10–15% of original size) and low CPU/memory footprint translate directly into lower storage bills and reduced infrastructure spend.

when to use

When a ransomware attack, hardware failure, or accidental deletion threatens data integrity; when regulatory deadlines require proven recovery capabilities; or when a new compliance framework mandates demonstrable backup and restore procedures.

Recover

Environment Cloning & Migration

Near-zero RPO with continuous real-time backup. Recover from ransomware, human error, or infrastructure failure in minutes — not hours.

Business Benefits

Testing & SW Dev Quality

Productivity

Faster Release Cycles

Cost-Efficient Test Environments

Schema Mapping Across Environments

No Vendor Lock-In

How it works

Accelerated Time-to-Market: By quickly automating the creation of development and testing environments, teams can start working faster. On-demand environment provisioning eliminates the cost of maintaining permanently running staging and QA clusters.

when to use

When onboarding a new developer or QA team member; when preparing for a major release or load test; when a client demo environment is needed quickly; or when a production incident must be reproduced safely in an isolated environment.

Comply

Audit & Compliance

Immutable audit trails, data retention policies, and GDPR/DORA/NIS2-ready controls. Evidence-ready for regulators at any time.

Business Benefits

Tracing & Auditing

Control

Regulatory Reporting Automation

Immutable Audit Trail

Risk Mitigation

Penalty Avoidance

How it works

Risk Mitigation and Penalty Avoidance: Ensures the company adheres to strict data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, DORA, NIS2). Automated audit log generation and reporting eliminates the manual effort and external tooling costs typically associated with compliance evidence collection.

when to use

When preparing for a GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or sector-specific regulatory audit; when responding to a data subject access request; when investigating a security incident; or when onboarding a new enterprise customer with strict compliance requirements.

Scale

Flexible & Ease of Use

Spin up test, dev, or staging environments from production data in under an hour. Migrate between Kafka providers with zero downtime.

Business Benefits

Reduce Cost

Easy Operations

Risk Reduction

Flexible

Minimum Training

Max Security

How it works

Accelerated Adoption and Time-to-Value: Intuitive platforms mean users get up to speed faster. Reduced Training and Support Costs: Easy-to-use solutions require fewer formal training sessions, smaller onboarding manuals, and less ongoing technical support.

when to use

When a team lacks deep Kafka expertise but needs to operate event-streaming infrastructure reliably; when reducing operational complexity is a strategic priority; or when onboarding a new business unit onto the Kafka platform with minimal IT support.

Your industry.
Your language.

Every sector has its own compliance requirements, uptime expectations, and data challenges. Select your industry to see how Kannika addresses them.

Finance & Banking

From 8 hours to 30 minutes recovery time
Financial institutions running Apache Kafka for real-time payments, fraud detection, and market data face strict regulatory requirements around data retention, audit trails, and operational resilience.

Key Challenges We Solve:
DORA operational resilience mandates
MiFID II transaction data retention
Real-time fraud detection continuity
Zero data loss for payment processing

Energy & Utilities

30% faster release cycles with environment cloning
Energy and utility companies rely on real-time event streaming for grid monitoring, smart meter data, and operational telemetry. Kannika Armory enables environment cloning for safe testing, continuous backup for operational resilience, and compliance-ready audit trails for regulatory reporting.
Key Challenges We Solve:
Grid reliability and uptime requirements
Environment consistency across dev/test/prod
Smart meter data retention obligations
Rapid incident recovery

Automotive & Mobility

Zero-downtime cloud migration for connected vehicle data
Automotive manufacturers and mobility platforms generate massive volumes of real-time telemetry, connected vehicle data, and manufacturing event streams. Kannika Armory enables zero-downtime cloud migration, vendor-agnostic DR, and continuous backup for mission-critical production data.
Key Challenges We Solve:
Multi-cloud DR strategy
Vendor lock-in with Confluent or MSK
Connected vehicle data continuity
Zero-downtime migration requirements

Logistics & Post

Near-zero RPO for mission-critical shipment data
Logistics and postal operators depend on real-time event streaming for shipment tracking, route optimisation, and last-mile delivery. A Kafka outage means lost parcels, missed SLAs, and customer churn. Kannika Armory provides continuous backup, instant restore, and immutable audit trails for every shipment event.
Key Challenges We Solve:
SLA guarantees for delivery tracking
Real-time route optimisation continuity
Cross-border data compliance
Last-mile delivery data resilience

Manufacturing

98% production forecast accuracy with edge cluster backup
Manufacturing companies running Kafka at the edge for OT/IT convergence, production monitoring, and supply chain event streaming need resilient backup across distributed clusters. Kannika Armory centralises edge cluster backup, provides granular restore, and delivers immutable audit trails for quality and compliance.
Key Challenges We Solve:
Edge cluster backup across distributed sites
OT/IT convergence data resilience
Production downtime cost minimisation
Supply chain event data retention

Rental & Mobility

Environment refresh from 1 week to under 1 hour
Rental and mobility companies use Kafka for fleet tracking, booking event streams, and real-time availability data. Kannika Armory enables rapid environment cloning for development and testing, continuous backup for fleet data, and self-service restore for operations teams.
Key Challenges We Solve:
Fleet data continuity and backup
Rapid environment provisioning for dev/test
Weekly release cycle support
Cost-efficient infrastructure
