Abstract

Described are techniques for processing a request received at a business logic provider from a client. The request includes a snapshot identifier uniquely identifying a snapshot having a snapshot object in a first data model and requests properties of a storage device providing a data source for the snapshot identified by the snapshot identifier. The snapshot object is requested from, and returned by, a snapshot provider. The business logic provider requests, from a storage device provider using a first property of the snapshot object, a storage device object corresponding to the storage device identified by the first property. The storage device provider returns the storage device object to the business logic provider. The storage device object is then returned to the client.
