Abstract

An illustrative data storage management system enables a Tenant to retain control over criteria for protecting the Tenant's data, and hides details of the Service Provider's infrastructure. The Service Provider may have many data centers, each one represented within the system by a Resource Pool with attributes that reflect the infrastructure resources of the corresponding data center. A system analysis, which is triggered by the Tenant's choices for data protection, keys in on a suitable Resource Pool. The system analysis identifies suitable system resources within the Resource Pool and associates them to the data source. Subsequent data protection jobs invoke proper system components based on the associations created by the system analysis. In some embodiments, the system will invoke infrastructure resources created on demand when a data protection job is initiated rather than being pre-existing resources.

Claims (44)

1. A system comprising:

one or more hardware processors; and

non-transitory computer-readable media carrying programming instructions, which, as executed by the one or more hardware processors, configure the system to:

receive a user's selection for protecting first data that is associated with a data source,

wherein the selection is made from a plurality of options presented to the user,

wherein the selection comprises one or more of: a backup frequency for the first data, and a retention time period for secondary copies that are generated from the first data,

based on the selection, initiate an analysis that configures the system to:

determine that the selection corresponds to a first data protection plan that is administered in the system,

determine that the first data protection plan references a first resource pool and also references a second resource pool, wherein the first resource pool corresponds to a first data center located in a first region, wherein the first data center comprises first data processing resources and first data storage resources, wherein the second resource pool corresponds to a second data center located in a second region, wherein the second data center comprises second data processing resources and second data storage resources, and

based on determining that the data source is located within the first region and further that the first data protection plan references the first data storage resources of the first data center in the first region, associate the data source with the first resource pool; and

initiate a data protection job of the data source according to the first data protection plan, wherein the data protection job uses one or more of the first data processing resources of the first data center to generate at least one secondary copy of the data source, and to store the at least one secondary copy at one or more of the first data storage resources of the first data center.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system does not identify the first data protection plan to the user, among the plurality of options.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of options includes the first data protection plan and a second data protection plan that has a different backup frequency.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system does not grant authority to the user to change the first data protection plan.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a display of the plurality of options presented to the user excludes identifying to the user the first data center and the second data center.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein a display of the plurality of options presented to the user excludes information about the first resource pool and about the second resource pool.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a display of the plurality of options presented to the user excludes displaying information about the first data processing resources and the first data storage resources of the first data center, and further excludes displaying information about the second data processing resources and the second data storage resources of the second data center.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first data protection plan comprises the retention time period for the at least one secondary copy of the data source; and

after the retention time period, initiate a pruning job of the at least one secondary copy of the data source generated by the data protection job.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a second data protection plan that is configured in the system references the first resource pool and also references the second resource pool, and

wherein the system does not associate the data source with the second data protection plan based on an option, among the plurality of options presented to the user, that was not chosen in the selection.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selection causes the system to determine suitable data processing resources within the first data center to perform data protection jobs for the first data according to the first data protection plan, and to further determine suitable data storage resources for storing secondary copies generated by the data protection jobs.

11. A system comprising:

one or more hardware processors; and

non-transitory computer-readable media carrying programming instructions, which, as executed by the one or more hardware processors, configure the system to:

receive a user's selection for protecting first data that is associated with a data source,

wherein the selection is made from a plurality of options presented to the user,

wherein the selection comprises a backup frequency for the first data,

based on the selection, initiate an analysis that configures the system to:

determine that a first data protection plan that is administered in the system is a closest match to the selection, compared to other data protection plans administered in the system,

determine that the first data protection plan references a first resource pool and also references a second resource pool, wherein the first resource pool corresponds to a first data center located in a first region, wherein the first data center comprises first data processing resources and first data storage resources, wherein the second resource pool corresponds to a second data center located in a second region, wherein the second data center comprises second data processing resources and second data storage resources, and

based on determining that the data source is located within the first region and further that the first data protection plan references the first data storage resources of the first data center in the first region, associate the data source with the first resource pool; and

initiate a data protection job of the data source according to the first data protection plan, wherein the data protection job uses one or more of the first data processing resources of the first data center to generate at least one secondary copy of the data source, and to store the at least one secondary copy at one or more of the first data storage resources of the first data center.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system does not identify the first data protection plan to the user, among the plurality of options.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of options includes the first data protection plan and a second data protection plan that has a different backup frequency.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system does not grant authority to the user to change the first data protection plan.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein a display of the plurality of options presented to the user excludes identifying to the user the first data center and the second data center.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein a display of the plurality of options presented to the user excludes information about the first resource pool and about the second resource pool.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein a display of the plurality of options presented to the user excludes displaying information about the first data processing resources and the first data storage resources of the first data center, and further excludes displaying information about the second data processing resources and the second data storage resources of the second data center.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first data protection plan comprises a retention time period for secondary copies that are generated from the data source; and

after the retention time period, initiate a pruning job of the at least one secondary copy of the data source generated by the data protection job.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein a second data protection plan that is configured in the system references the first resource pool and also references the second resource pool, and

wherein the system does not associate the data source with the second data protection plan based on an option, among the plurality of options presented to the user, that was not chosen in the selection.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the selection causes the system to determine suitable data processing resources within the first data center to perform data protection jobs for the first data according to the first data protection plan, and to further determine suitable data storage resources for storing secondary copies generated by the data protection jobs.
