Abstract
One example method includes receiving an input that indicates selection of a cloud storage provider, receiving one or more product selection inputs, each of the product selection inputs indicating selection of a respective data protection product, receiving an input indicating an instance size, assembling the inputs together to define a data protection configuration, and automatically generating a script which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, deploys the data protection configuration in a cloud storage environment of the selected cloud storage provider.
Claims14
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a service provider site, cloud provider information from a client;
- receiving by the service provider site, from the client, one or more product selection inputs, each of the one or more product selection inputs indicating selection, by a user, of a respective data protection product from a list of user-selectable data protection products presented to the user by the service provider site;
- checking, by the service provider site, to determine if any conflicts or incompatibilities exist among the data protection products selected by the user and, when such a conflict or incompatibility is found, updating a user menu so as to prevent user selection of conflicting or incompatible data protection products;
- receiving, at the service provider site, instance information from the client;
- assembling, at the service provider site, the cloud provider information, the data protection product information, and the instance information, into a data protection configuration;
- and
- generating, at a service provider site, a script which is executable to implement the assembled data protection configuration.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions which are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at a service provider site, cloud provider information from a client;
- receiving by the service provider site, from the client, one or more product selection inputs, each of the one or more product selection inputs indicating selection, by a user, of a respective data protection product from a list of user-selectable data protection products presented to the user by the service provider site;
- checking, by the service provider site, to determine if any conflicts or incompatibilities exist among the data protection products selected by the user and, when such a conflict or incompatibility is found, updating a user menu so as to prevent user selection of conflicting or incompatible data protection products;
- receiving, at the service provider site, instance information from the client;
- assembling, at the service provider site, the cloud provider information, the data protection product information, and the instance information, into a data protection configuration;
- and
- generating, at a service provider site, a script which is executable to implement the assembled data protection configuration.
