Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining, from a user device, a master-slave agreement and a first network configuration for a federated blockchain network, transmitting to a cloud service provider (CSP) node the first network configuration, generating first credentials, and transmitting the first credentials to the CSP node. The CSP node configures a first group of blockchain nodes according to the first network configuration and the first credentials. Further embodiments include transmitting the first credentials to a public server that sends it to a public blockchain node and an indication to generate a portion of the federated blockchain network. The public blockchain node configures a second group of blockchain nodes according to a second network configuration based on a public blockchain smart contract. The federated blockchain network comprises the first group of blockchain nodes and the second group of blockchain nodes. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods, systems, and devices for configuring a federated blockchain network

Described are a system and method for providing data protection. A storage management system in communication with first and second storage arrays is configured to implement a data protection procedure for protecting data stored in the first storage array using the second storage array. An environmental information processor receives information related to an event that can threaten the data stored in the first storage array and, based on the received information, issues a command to the storage management system. The command causes the storage management system to initiate the data protection procedure as a precautionary action for protecting the data stored at the first storage array.
