About Trilio for OpenStack

T4O, by Trilio Data, is a native OpenStack service-based solution that provides policy-based comprehensive backup and recovery for OpenStack workloads. It captures point-in-time workloads (Application, OS, Compute, Network, Configurations, Data, and Metadata of an environment) as full or incremental snapshots. These snapshots can be held in a variety of storage environments including NFS, AWS S3, and other S3-compatible storages. With Trilio and its one-click recovery, organizations can improve Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). With Trilio, IT departments are enabled to fully deploy OpenStack solutions and provide business assurance through enhanced data retention, protection, and integrity.

With the use of Trilio’s VAST (Virtual Snapshot Technology), Enterprise IT and Cloud Service Providers can now deploy backup and disaster recovery as a service to prevent data loss or data corruption through point-in-time snapshots and seamless one-click recovery. Trilio takes point-in-time backup of the entire workload consisting of compute resources, network configurations, and storage data as one unit. It also takes incremental backups that capture only the changes that were made since the last backup. Incremental snapshots save a considerable amount of storage space as the backup only includes changes since the last backup. The benefits of using VAST for backup and restore could be summarized below:

Efficient Capture and Storage of Snapshots

Since our full backups only include data that is committed to storage volume and the incremental backups only include changed blocks of data since the last backup, our backup processes are efficient and store backup images efficiently on the backup media.

Faster and Reliable Recovery

When your applications become complex that snap multiple VMs and storage volumes, our efficient recovery process will bring your application from zero to operational with just a click of a button

Easy Migration of Workloads between Clouds

Trilio captures all the details of your application and hence our migration includes your entire application stack without leaving anything for guesswork.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

Our tenant-driven backup policy and automation eliminate the need for dedicated backup administrators, thereby improving your total cost of ownership.
