Application Data Protection as a Service for OpenStack

Mission Statement

To protect the Data and Metadata that comprises an OpenStack-deployed Application against loss/damage (e.g. backup, replication) by providing a standard framework of APIs and services that allows vendors to provide plugins through a unified interface

Open Architecture

Design for multiple perspectives:

• User: Protect App Deployment

  • Configure and manage custom protection plans on the deployed resources (topology, VMs, volumes, images, …)

• Admin: Define Protectable Resources

  • Decide what plugins protect which resources, what is available for the user

  • Decide where users can protect their resources

• Vendors: Standard API for protection products

  • Create plugins that implement Protection mechanisms for different OpenStack resources
