Trilio is making available a technology preview of an instance of its disaster recovery (DR) platform that supports Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, which enables IT teams to encapsulate virtual machines in a container.
Trilio Site Recovery (TSR) makes use of continuous replication to automate failover and failback operations across sites, a capability that can now be extended to legacy monolithic applications deployed using Kernel-based virtual machines (KVMs) deployed on an instance of a multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster using open source KubeVirt software.
David Safaii, chief evangelist for Trilio, said this latest addition to the Trilio portfolio expands the range of cloud-native services that IT teams can support using a DR platform that is not tied to a specific storage platform. That latter capability is especially critical because in the event of an outage it provides IT teams with a more flexible approach to DR spanning multiple platforms, noted Safaii.
It’s not clear how many IT teams are using the Red Hat OpenShift platform based on Kubernetes to run legacy monolithic workloads on KVMs that have been encapsulated in a container. However, as more cloud-native applications are deployed, many organizations are looking to centralize the management of IT by deploying multiple classes of workloads on Kubernetes clusters. The overall goal is to reduce the total cost of IT by eliminating the need to manage legacy infrastructure.
The challenge is…
