OpenStack backup startup Trilio Data closes $5M funding round
AT&T Inc., Bloomberg L.P. and many other large enterprises rely on OpenStack to power their internal infrastructure. Such companies tend to have strict operational requirements when it comes to workload availability, a situation that Trilio Data Inc. is working to address.
The four-year-old startup today announced that it has closed a $5 million funding round led by Boston-based .406 Ventures. The fund is notable for investing in successful cybersecurity firms such as Carbon Black Inc. and Veracode Inc., which was acquired for $614 million by software giant CA Technologies Inc. earlier this year. It evidently sees similar potential in Trilio.
The startup has created a data protection platform specifically designed for use in large-scale OpenStack clusters. Dubbed TrilioVault, the software enables administrators to capture the state of their company’s deployment in any given point of time and store the snapshot on their hardware of choice. They can then restore an application or file to that state whenever the need arises.
The most obvious use case for TrilioVault is performing recovery after a technical problem or cyberattack compromises data, but there are other applications as well. For starters, companies can use the backups as a sort of log to check how their OpenStack environments evolve over time. This visibility can make it easier to meet compliance requirements around auditing, as well as help with tracing issues that are not detected immediately back to the point of origin.
Trilio said another use for its platform is easing migrations. When administrators need to move a workload to new infrastructure, they can create a snapshot with TrilioVault and set up the the copy in the target environment. This approach involves less downtime than moving the original application, which typically requires taking it offline.
Trilio claims that TrilioVault helps protect the data of “leading OpenStack adopters” around the world. The startup will use today’s funding to further expand customer acquisition efforts and feature development.
