Trilio and OSIE Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Integrated Data Protection and Billing for OpenStack MSP Environments

Joint solution equips managed service providers with enterprise-grade backup, recovery, and Backup as a Service billing capabilities — as VMware migrations accelerate OpenStack adoption worldwide

FRAMINGHAM, MA, UNITED STATES, July 20, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / — Trilio, a leader in cloud-native data protection, and OSIE (osie.io), provider of the leading OpenStack billing system and enterprise dashboard, today announced a strategic technology partnership to deliver a fully integrated solution for managed service providers (MSPs) building and operating OpenStack-based cloud services.

Through this partnership, Trilio’s backup, recovery, and workload mobility capabilities are combined with OSIE’s pay-per-minute metering, automated invoicing, RBAC, SSO, and self-service portal — giving MSPs a single, cohesive platform to protect customer workloads and monetize cloud infrastructure with confidence.

"As more enterprises move away from VMware environments and migrate to OpenStack, the MSPs supporting them need more than just infrastructure — they need the operational and commercial tooling to run a modern cloud business. We're seeing this transition accelerate significantly, and billing and tenant management capabilities have quickly become a critical gap for operators. Our partnership with OSIE closes that gap, giving MSPs the data protection they trust from Trilio combined with the billing and monetization engine they need to scale."David Safaii, Co-Founder and Chief Evangelist, Trilio

The combination of Trilio and OSIE addresses a growing demand from MSPs seeking to deliver differentiated, enterprise-grade OpenStack cloud services. As organizations increasingly turn to open-source infrastructure following the disruption in the VMware ecosystem, service providers require a unified stack that handles both operational resilience and commercial operations.

A Complete Platform for OpenStack MSPs

The joint solution enables MSPs and OpenStack operators to deliver and monetize a full spectrum of managed cloud services:

• Protect virtual machine workloads with Trilio’s application-consistent backup and recovery, ensuring granular restore capabilities and rapid recovery times across tenant environments.
• Deliver Backup as a Service directly to tenants — with OSIE’s billing engine automatically metering and invoicing customers for their data protection consumption, turning backup into a revenue-generating service offering.
• Provide disaster recovery and business continuity with automated failover and cross-region workload mobility, protecting tenants from outages and data loss.
• Monetize all cloud infrastructure with OSIE’s pay-per-minute metering, automated invoicing, and integrations with Stripe, PayPal, and WHMCS.
• Deliver a fast, modern self-service portal to tenants and full RBAC, audit logging, and multi-cloud admin controls to operators — powered by OSIE’s dashboard, which is 10x faster than Horizon.
• Manage multiple OpenStack deployments from a single admin panel, with Trilio ensuring data resilience across every tenant and every region.

Accelerating the Move Away from VMware

The VMware ecosystem shift has created significant momentum for OpenStack as organizations seek cost-effective, open alternatives for private and hybrid cloud. MSPs are at the forefront of this transition, absorbing migrations and building new service offerings on OpenStack at an accelerating pace. The Trilio and OSIE partnership is purpose-built to support this wave — combining data protection expertise with the commercial infrastructure MSPs need to operate profitably at scale.

"OSIE was built to turn any OpenStack deployment into a modern, monetizable cloud platform — and Backup as a Service is one of the highest-value offerings an MSP can bring to their tenants. By partnering with Trilio, operators can now automatically meter and bill customers for their backup consumption the same way they bill for compute or storage. That changes backup from a cost center into a revenue line. Together with Trilio's enterprise-grade data protection, MSPs have everything they need to build a competitive, full-service cloud business on OpenStack."Marius Leustean, Founder, OSIE

The joint offering is available immediately for MSPs and OpenStack operators. Trilio and OSIE are working together to provide combined deployment guidance, joint go-to-market support, and technical integration resources for service provider partners.
