Trilio announced early access availability of its new platform for
protecting Kubernetes container applications. TrilioVault for Kubernetes
is a cloud-native, application-centric data protection platform that
was designed from the ground-up to support the scale, performance and
mobility requirements of Kubernetes containers across any private or
public cloud environment.
TrilioVault
for Kubernetes offers backup and recovery of the entire application,
including data, metadata and any other Kubernetes objects associated
with the application, so it is protected and able to be restored from
any point in time. TrilioVault for Kubernetes supports applications
provisioned via Operators, Helm or Labels within upstream Kubernetes or
Red Hat OpenShift environments. Additionally, the platform is cloud
agnostic, offering customers the agility to move with the application
across public and private cloud infrastructure.
TrilioVault
is a native Kubernetes application that leverages core Kubernetes APIs
and the CSI framework to provide simple snapshot, backup and restore
operations as well as making it seamless to deploy and manage.
TrilioVault for Kubernetes also extends core functionality of monitoring
and logging through Prometheus and Grafana.
Today,
Trilio and Red Hat announced that TrilioVault for Kubernetes has
achieved Red Hat OpenShift Operator Certification and can be installed
via the OpenShift OperatorHub.
IT managers, backup administrators and application developers can download the product at: www.trilio.io/plans.
"Our
customers and partners asked us to develop a cloud-native,
application-centric data protection product for Kubernetes applications
that is cloud agnostic," said David Safaii, CEO of Trilio. "Today, we
are excited to offer early access of TrilioVault for Kubernetes to those
IT administrators or application developers who are looking for an
enterprise-grade platform to support their backup and recovery,
migrations, disaster recovery and mobility requirements. We will add
features like advanced retention policies, backup script injection and
logging thru FluentD to further simplify data protection for general
availability. Additionally, customers can also expect Trilio to validate
additional distributions throughout the year."
TrilioVault
for Kubernetes is offered as a 30-day Free Trial or Basic Edition for
up to 10 nodes free of charge. The Enterprise Edition is available with
premium support and is priced on a per node basis for annual contracts.
Customers and partners can learn more about the product, watch demos and
experience live test drive scenarios at https://www.trilio.io.
Company Awarded Patents
The
company also announced that the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) has issued three patents to the company, acknowledging
the innovation and uniqueness of the company's intellectual property
portfolio that underpins the TrilioVault architecture. TrilioVault was
designed to support the requirements of cloud-native environments, and
the patents awarded address this approach.
The
TrilioVault platform provides backup and recovery of an application's
data and metadata being run in Kubernetes containers, OpenStack hybrid
clouds, Red Hat Virtualization or hyperconverged infrastructure
environments. The TriloVault architecture is agentless and offers
infinite scalability, self-service management and an open, universal
backup schema that make it ideal for protecting cloud-native
applications.
Cloud-native
applications are dynamic, scalable and composed of multiple resources:
virtual machines, containers, storage volumes and metadata. Legacy
backup solutions are storage focused and are not architected for the
complexity of cloud-native applications.
"Early
on, Trilio recognized the limitations of legacy backup products," said
Murali Balcha, CTO of Trilio. "We designed a platform from the ground up
to solve the challenges of supporting the requirements of cloud-native
applications. Our patent portfolio, inclusive of our pending patents, is
proof that our engineering team has created a novel and progressive
technology that addresses the data protection and management needs of
enterprises and service providers that are embracing cloud."
Balcha
continued, "We often hear from our customers how innovative our
technology is and how it solves tough problems. This inspires us to
continue the hard work required to take TrilioVault to new markets,
including our new product that supports customers requiring backup and
recovery of Kubernetes- and OpenShift-based applications."
The patents received by Trilio include:
- Method and Apparatus of Managing Application Workloads on Backup and Recovery System (US Patent #10/437,681)
- Prioritized Backup Operations for Virtual Machines (US Patent #10/437,487)
- Scalable De-duplication File System (US Patent #14/562,973)
