<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt">We would like to introduce a new project Raksha, a Data Protection As a Service (DPaaS) for OpenStack Cloud.</p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt">Raksha’s primary goal is to provide a comprehensive Data Protection for OpenStack by leveraging Nova, Swift, Glance and Cinder. Raksha has following key features:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt">You will find the rationale behind the need for Raksha in OpenStack in its Wiki. The wiki also has the preliminary design and the API description.<span>
</span>Some of the Raksha functionality may overlap with Nova and Cinder projects and as a community lets work together to coordinate the features among these projects. We would like to seek out early feedback so we can address as many issues as we can in the
first code drop. We are hoping to enlist the OpenStack community help in making Raksha a part of OpenStack.</p>
