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

Trilio & OSIE Partnership

Enterprise Data Protection, Native to Your OpenStack Billing Platform

With a shared vision for MSP-ready cloud infrastructure, Trilio’s backup and recovery capabilities now integrate directly with OSIE’s OpenStack billing and dashboard platform — delivering unified data protection and billing in a single stack.

Why This Partnership Is a Game Changer

OSIE is not just another OpenStack dashboard — it’s a modern, billing-first cloud operating layer delivering pay-per-minute metering, automated invoicing, RBAC, SSO, and a white-label self-service portal built for MSPs and public cloud operators.

For organizations running managed cloud services on OpenStack, this partnership lets you deliver enterprise-grade data protection as a native, billable service — with no separate backup console, no manual billing reconciliation, and no tool sprawl.

What Operators Gain from This Integration

Extend your service catalog, reduce tool sprawl, and deliver enterprise data protection as a managed, billable offering — all within your existing OSIE workflow.

Backup as a Billable Service

Expose backup plans, storage tiers, and RPO options as priced SKUs within the OSIE billing engine. Tenants see costs; operators capture recurring revenue.

Tenant-Level RBAC

Operators set policies; tenants trigger their own backups and restores within enforced guardrails. Decentralized operations with centralized governance.

Zero Extra Consoles

Backup and recovery workflows surface directly in the OSIE tenant portal — no separate Trilio UI required for day-to-day operations.

Audit & Compliance Trails

Every backup event, restoration, and policy change is logged through OSIE’s audit system — ready for regulatory reporting and SLA verification.

API-First Automation

Both platforms expose comprehensive REST APIs. Automate backup provisioning, billing reconciliation, and DR testing through your existing CI/CD tooling.

Zero Extra Consoles

Backup and recovery workflows surface directly in the OSIE tenant portal — no separate Trilio UI required for day-to-day operations.

What End Customers Get

One Platform, One Experience

No fragmented backup tools — OSIE + Trilio gives tenants a single-pane, full-stack solution for managing workloads and protecting them.

Self-Service Backup & Restore

Tenants can trigger restores, view snapshots, and test DR runbooks directly from the OSIE portal — no IT ticket, no waiting.

Transparent, Predictable Billing

Pay-per-minute metering means tenants see exactly what their data protection costs — broken out on the same invoice as compute and storage.

Enterprise SLAs, Compliance & Audit

Enforce retention, encryption, trails, and regulatory policies directly within platform workflows — evidence-based compliance, built in.

Technical Architecture & Integration

  1. 1

    Control Plane API Hook

    Trilio registers with OSIE's REST API layer, receiving tenant provisioning events and exposing backup, restore, and DR endpoints that OSIE can invoke programmatically.

  2. 2

    Billing Event Stream

    Backup jobs and storage consumption emit metering events into OSIE's billing engine. Each tenant's data protection usage is tracked per-minute alongside compute charges.

  3. 3

    Snapshot & Storage Layer

    Trilio operates against OpenStack's native Cinder and Nova APIs — block-level incremental snapshots with no external agents — compatible with any OSIE-connected provider.

  4. 4

    Unified Dashboard Widget

    Backup status, RPO health, and restore actions appear as first-class widgets in the OSIE tenant portal — no redirect, no context switch, no extra login.

Joint Offering

Everything an MSP needs to deliver backup, disaster recovery, and migration as managed services — in a single integrated stack.
