Key Requirements for OpenStack Backup and Recovery

With increasingly complex and critical IT environments, companies are looking for ways to fully protect their business, while at the same time providing easier, faster and more reliable recovery. One of the biggest challenges when deploying an OpenStack cloud in an organization is the ability to provide a policy-based, automated, comprehensive backup and recovery solution.

This session, co-presented by Murali Balcha, one of the creators of Raksha and co-founder and CTO of Trilio Data, and Brian Davis, CTO at OnX Enterprise Solutions and former Director / Portfolio Architect Cloud Engineering at American Express, will discuss the maturing pets vs cattle approach and compare and contrast current approaches to OpenStack backup with what an ideal backup solution looks like. Attendees will come away with a solid understanding of how to cobble together APIs for backup, and why a more holistic approach will better meet the needs of business-critical OpenStack environments.


What can I expect to learn?

Attendees should expect to learn why the current "solutions" for backup are inadequate for true enterprise production environments. They will leave the session with a concrete list of key requirements for OpenStack backup and recovery, and learn how to assess their own environments to develop a list of requirements unique to their use of OpenStack.

Informative session thanks; time mgmt could have been better but I'm sure the presenter realised that (not that it's easy of course!)
