Application Data Protection as a Service for OpenStack
Mission Statement

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
