Trilio for Red Hat OpenStack
Enterprise-Grade Hybrid Cloud Data Protection

Red Hat OpenStack
Red Hat® OpenStack® Platform is a cloud computing platform that virtualizes resources from industry-standard hardware, organizes those resources into clouds, and manages them so users can access what they need—when they need it.

Integration
Trilio is the OpenStack-native Intelligent Recovery Platform that gives Red Hat OpenStack users the ability to restore entire workloads with one-click or even migrate Applications from one Red Hat OpenStack Cloud to another.
With Trilio for Red Hat OpenStack users can protect their critical data and applications from data loss, corruption, or other disasters that can occur in cloud environments. The solution provides granular backup and recovery, allowing users to restore data at the individual file or application level. This makes it easy to recover specific data in the event of an issue or outage.
Trilio also offers scalability and flexibility, supporting a wide range of OpenStack configurations and distributions. This means that users can protect their data regardless of the size or complexity of their OpenStack deployment. This enables OpenStack customers to migrate from any distribution to Red Hat OpenStack in just a few steps.

FAQ
We are taking application-centric backups, meaning we are including everything which is mandatory to be able to recover your entire application
Such as:
- Whole Disk on Block Level
- Complete Network Topology (Subnets, Networks, Ports)
- Storage Volumes
- Cinder Volume Configuration, Types, MetaData
- Security Groups and Keys
- VMs (Single/Multiple)
- VM MetaData & Flavors
- Boot Image and overlays
There are a multiple options to recover your workloads.
- Operational Recovery (on the fly)
- Disaster Recovery
- Test/Dev
- New Availability Zone
- New Clouds
- Files/Folder-Level Restore
In general it is up to your Role-Based-Access-Control policy who gets the permission to recover workloads and applications.

-
Cloud and Tenant Data Protection - Protection of the overcloud during the upgrade
-
Red Hat and Trilio, customers can dramatically reduce both the risk and time associated with this often-costly upgrade process
-
Backup the existing cloud environment — including valuable workload metadata — and restore it to the upgraded cloud environment
-
Captures both the application and VM data, as well as the tenant/project metadata itself (network definitions, storage layout, security groups, etc.)
-
Capture environmental points-in-time consisting of OS, compute, network configurations, security groups, data, and metadata as a whole
-
Snapshots can be held in a variety of storage environments including NFS, Swift, and 3rd party arrays
-
Tenant driven policy creation and single-click recovery that improves Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
-
Application awareness and consistency regardless of changes to the environment
Use Cases
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
Business critical services like NFV can quickly be configured to any state, assuring optimal quality of service. Trilio provides recovery from data damage and allows restoration of entire VNFs, selected NFVs, 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.
