Trilio for OpenStack

I am thrilled to announce a major milestone with the release of Trilio for OpenStack Version 5! Our commitment to innovation continues as we bring you this new version .

The longest running and most mature Backup and Recovery service for OpenStack just got better!

Yesterday we announced the release of Trilio for OpenStack Version 5, which bring backup and disaster recovery to Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1 and Kolla-Ansible Antelope (2023.1) on Rocky Linux and Ubuntu Jammy.

Trilio for OpenStack 5 is our truly native OpenStack Backup-as-a-Service offering that provides integration with the OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) and native OpenStack Command Line client. Along with the some of the latest distros supported, let’s look at some of the capabilities of Trilio for OpenStack V5.

Improved architecture leads to simplified management

Trilio for OpenStack 5 is deployed as part of your chosen distribution. It is not managed separately. Trilio is added to your Charmed Bundle, RHOSP Director YAML, or Ansible YAML, and installed and managed like any other OpenStack service. This means you don’t have to scale your backup service independently of your OpenStack cloud. We are part of your cloud just like Nova or Neutron and users will simply backup and recover their VMs, Networks and Storage just like they’re launching or creating VMs and Storage through the OpenStack Dashboard, command line or orchestration tool.

We now support all current OpenStack distros!

In addition to for the top 5 distributions of OpenStack, including RHOSP, OpenStack-Ansible, Kolla-Ansible, Canonical Charms and Mirantis MOSK , we now support all OpenStack distros! If you are running your own version of Ansible Playbooks, or dipping your toes into OpenStack-Helm, contact Trilio to add in backup-as-a-service for your users.

Integrated Functionality to Enable Migration from VMware to OpenStack!

That’s right – you can now migrate your entire VMware Virtual Machines to OpenStack using Trilio. With Trilio’s process you can create a choose which VMware VMs to migrate in a Trilio migration plan, using the fully integrated plugin into Horizon, you can bring in VMware workloads, assign them from VMware’s single-tenant world to tenants/projects in OpenStack, map vSwitches to OpenStack Networks, and continually refine until you’re happy with the performance.

Faster Backup Operations

Trilio for OpenStack 5 now streamlines the way backups are created. It intelligently manages workload queuing and resources, ensuring optimal backup performance. Additionally, for Ceph based storage Trilio provides even further optimizations versus traditional solutions from the well known legacy vendors.

Improved Database Performance

All OpenStack services maintain state and history in a database such as MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL. Trilio has optimized the garbage collection process, and leaner database tables, leading to shortened backup and restore times, and generally bringing overall resource utilization down.

Unified Logging Format

OpenStack services love their logs! Trilio is no exception. Since simplifying the architecture, Trilio has unified the logs which will reduce time in Troubleshooting and overall log management and reporting.
