OpenStack Backup and Recovery Use Cases

OpenStack Backup and Recovery

Recover any OpenStack application quickly in the event of data loss or misconfiguration. Trilio enables easy restoration of entire workloads that reflect the clouds last best-known state. Such as One-Click-Restore to entire project recovery on different clusters.

Migration

A tenant or administrator can capture an application and its data and non-disruptively migrate that exact point-in-time to another OpenStack cloud. The need to migrate OpenStack workloads can be driven by economics, security or test/dev.

Disaster Recovery

Recover any OpenStack application quickly in the event of a disaster. Trilio enables easy restoration of entire workloads that reflect the clouds last best-known state. Trilio makes OpenStack disaster recovery easy.

Network Functions Virtualization backup and recovery (NFV)

Business critical services like NFV can quickly be configured to any state, assuring the optimal quality of service. Trilio provides recovery from data damage and allows restoration of entire VNFs, selected VNFs, or individual data items using a point-in-time working copy. The platform also allows recovery from a disaster by restoring the OpenStack network topology and populating it with a working copy of the entire NFV.
