Abstract
A service level agreement (SLA) is defined for providing data protection with one of data protection levels on data stored in a first system. The SLA includes zero or more service level objectives (SLOs), where each SLO describes a data protection objective to be met. A rule engine applies a set of rules to the SLOs to determine a list of actions to be performed in order to achieve the data protection objectives specified by the SLOs. One or more data protection services are provisioned to be performed at the first storage system and a second storage system that provides data protection for the first storage system. An outcome of the data protection services is evaluated in view of the SLOs to determine whether the data protection objectives have been satisfied.
