Whitepaper: Trilio Site Recovery (TSR) — DR for Kubernetes-native VMs

Trilio & Bigstack: Enterprise Data Protection, Native to CubeCOS

With a shared product-first vision, Trilio is now integrated deeply into Bigstack’s CubeCOS — delivering native data protection, disaster recovery and migration directly within the platform.

Why This Partnership Is a Game Changer

Bigstack is not just another virtualization vendor — it’s a product-first cloud operating system company delivering CubeCOS, an open-source, VCF-like stack installable from a single image. (bigstack.co) CubeCOS bundles and orchestrates proven open-source components  into a cohesive, enterprise-grade infrastructure. 

For organizations seeking to depart VMware without sacrificing protection, this partnership lets you adopt a unified platform with built-in data safety and migration — no bolt-ons, no silos.

What Bigstack Gains from Trilio Integration

Tenant-Level Self-Service

Bigstack operators can expose backup/restore/DR controls to tenants or business units — with role-based guardrails.

Agentless Snapshots & Restore

Leverage incremental, application-consistent snapshots that operate with CubeCOS storage, without external agents.

Trilio as Core Module

Migrate workloads — including from legacy VMware environments — directly through CubeCOS.

Seamless Migration & Mobility

Migrate workloads — including from legacy VMware environments — directly through CubeCOS.

What End Customers Get

One Platform, One Experience

No fragmented backup tools — cubeCOS + Trilio gives you a single-pane, full-stack solution.

Safe Exit from
VMware

Move critical workloads confidently, with built-in fallbacks and data protection from the start.

Enterprise SLAs, Compliance & Audit

Enforce retention, encryption, trails, and regulatory policies directly within platform workflows.

Scalable, Predictable Operations

Because CubeCOS is deployable from a single image and supports multi-cluster scalability, protection scales along with it.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Eliminate the operational burden of separate backup ecosystems, reduce tool sprawl, and consolidate skills/ops.

Technical Architecture & Integration

Control Plane Embedding

Trilio hooks into CubeCOS’s orchestration APIs to manage backup, restore, migration, validation, and recovery tasks.

Storage & Snapshot Layer

Uses CubeCOS’s underlying storage and snapshot primitives (block-level, incremental) to minimize overhead.

Unified UI / Workflow Plugin

Backup and recovery workflows appear seamlessly within the CubeCOS UI — no separate consoles.
