Satisfying recovery service level agreements (SLAs)

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a physical processor of a computing device for satisfying recovery service level agreements (SLAs), the machine-readable storage medium comprising:

• instructions to determine whether a data connection with a first storage device is available, wherein information about the data connection is broadcast via a first entity to a set of devices in a network, wherein the information about the data connection indicates which device in the set of devices in the network has a connection to the first storage device;
• instructions to establish the data connection with the first storage device responsive to determining that the first storage device is available, the instructions to establish the data connection comprising:
• instruction to perform a first recovery operation at the first storage device;
• instructions to receive a second storage device availability message from a second entity that requests a second recovery operation at the first storage device;
• instructions to facilitate communication with the second entity;
• and
• instructions to perform the second recovery operation at the first storage device and communicate the recovered data to the second entity;
• instructions to determine that the first storage device is not available by receiving a communication message from a third entity, the communication message comprising information for the first entity to establish communication with the third entity;
• instructions to send the first recovery operation to the third entity responsive to establishing communication with the third entity;
• and
• instructions to receive, from the third entity, data to be recovered from the first storage device via the first recovery operation.

A system for satisfying recovery service level agreements (SLAs), the system comprising:

• a physical processor that implements machine readable instructions that cause the system to:
• determine that a first recovery operation is to be performed at a first storage device;
• determine that the first storage device is available;
• responsive to determining that the first storage device is available, establish a data connection with the first storage device, wherein information about the data connection is broadcast via a first entity to a set of devices in a network, wherein the information about the data connection indicates which device in the set of devices in the network has a connection to the first storage device;
• receive a second storage device availability from a second entity that requests a second recovery operation at the first storage device;
• facilitate communication with the second entity;
• manage the execution of the first recovery operation and the second recovery operation;
• determine that the first storage device is not available by receiving a communication message from a third entity, the communication message comprising information for the first entity to establish communication with the third entity;
• send the first recovery operation to the third entity responsive to establishing communication with the third entity;
• and
• receive, from the third entity, data to be recovered from the first storage device via the first recovery operation.
