One-click Workload-In-Motion

Pioneered Backup-In-Motion solution in the industry, it performs one‑click backup and recovery of VMs from one OpenStack environment to another without requiring any shared components between them. This is made possible through the powerful Uniview User Console of OpenStack and its clustering capabilities, which automate the entire process. Backup, Put in Motion, and Recover are all by one click as simple that there is no room for mistaking. With Uniview, there is no need of snapshotting, download, copying, re-composing info of instance creation any more, the process is as concise and quick as Live Migration between hypervisors and within same cloud. Backup-In-Motion makes mutli-OpenStack truly meaningful to business as one failover solution at disaster when data sync can be well faciliated by Uniview Vault. From taking backup at env A, puting in motion to have it replicated to B, to recovering by one click, it can be as short as minutes, and all process is within same console without hoping off/on by a few clicks.

Achieving Best OpenStack Workload Resiliency At Low Cost

Leveraging the potentials of existing systems such as ceph rbd copy, rbd diff, nova quiescing, cinder backup, neutron api and swift/rgw cluster etc, Uniview Vault barely requires complexity neither local storage or network for data transit, hence it is more reliable and efficient.
Uniview provides resilient offsite backup and DR by easily spreading data across external storage or shared‑nothing remote OpenStack, safeguarded by three or more geographically distributed recoverable replicas. Incremental backup will be taken at configurable pace by users to have best RPO. Its performance is ensured by the way of data handling too, when there is no need of delta computing that data movers often do. Uniview doesn't need data mover. Instead Uniview delta computing leverages Ceph RBD metadata only without touching real data. Different from data mover or proxy when it does download and upload locally, Uniview Vault does only server side copying without local download/upload.

Not a Luxury Any More, Back up and DRS Now Is A Commodity

With Uniview, cloud administrators are freed from being tied with tenant workload and their daily backup. Tenants use their own multi-tenancy storage, manage their own migrations to cross clusters, track the status of their own jobs, and troubleshoot their own issues. All are facilitated.
Instead of centralized storage traditional backup solutions often uses, Uniview is more focused on multiple-tenancy storage, though, CSP still has option of centralized storage by GCS/NFS/S3 etc. From creating and scheduling backups to restoring, all is one click away. Uniview Vault is fully integrated with the Uniview user console without need to hop back and forth between different places and systems. Uniview backup is so accessible and in such natural way as simple as creating a VM, and yes, it's a commodity not complicated nor expensive any more.

Manageable, transparent, operable, and affordable — a perfect balance of open source and thin proprietary engineering

Uniview Vault leverages open source APIs and services to turn a highly complex and often expensive process into a well‑accessible, reliable workload protection solution native to OpenStack. Uniview Vault also orchestrates various services to accomplish workload recovery with traceable logs and events. Uniview Vault easy install and daily administrating over intuitive UI is natural as requiring nearly no extra efforts, which is a signficant difference from other solutions when dedicated administrator and complex process are required due to the complex topology.

Highest Standard of Source Application Consistency While Agentless to Ensures Best Recoverability

Uniview Vault implements a high standard of application consistency by coordinated quiescing and application freezing in a graceful way, so that data backed up from volumes or snapshots has the best recoverability. All processes are achieved through orchestrated API calls without agents. Supported storage media include AWS S3, Swift, NFS, GCS (Google Cloud Storage), Ceph, and other common storage systems. Full and incremental backups are available within a few clicks.

Easiest Integration Without Dependency on Controller/Hypervisor neither Proxy Integration

Unlike solutions from legacy that often install movers or api extentions, or proxes into the controller and hypervisor, they work but also significantly increased solution cost and maintenance overhead. Those deep dependencies can be intrusive that cause sustainability issues. Uniview Vault fully leverages Uniview core and the OpenStack API only to accomplish the same tasks efficiently. Nothing is required on Nova/Cinder controller, nova‑compute/Ceph; no proxy or agents are needed, while it still achieves the desirable filesystem‑consistent backups required to meet industry standards in the OpenStack world. Barely cloud administors need attentions on Uniview vault in their upgrading and daily operations.
