Motivation

The advent of cloud computing has transformed Information Technology industry beyond recognition. Not long ago monolithic business applications had run on dedicated hardware in enterprise owned data centers. The upkeep of these applications against software and hardware refresh cycles coupled with scaling these applications as businesses continue to grow has been a constant battle for IT staff. Cloud computing has alleviated a majority of these concerns. This new breed of next generation applications are built for webscale leveraging the platform abstraction that cloud platforms provide. Though the delivery and consumption of cloud computing has dramatically improved driving these new business applications, a new wave of application management challenges; monitoring, tracing, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, data management, and data protection has emerged. Applications have scaled from a single server to now 100s of servers. Trilio's mission is to address the data protection challenges of cloud applications that traditional solutions have failed to address.
