OpenStack disaster recovery with Trilio Site Recovery for OpenStack: a live three-tier application fails over to a recovery site and fails back, with every order intact.

You will see:

Site Recovery Administration in Horizon, with the primary and secondary Pure Storage FlashArrays and their replication links
An ActiveDR protection group with continuous replication and a VM boot order (database, app, web)
A one-to-one floating IP mapping between the two sites
A planned failover to the recovery site, and a failback to the primary site with no lost orders
