The Enea Unified Data Manager also provides flexibility in the Bare-Metal HP Blades
choice of backend Unified Data Repository (UDR). While the RedHat
Enea Enea Stratum Cloud Data Manager is an ideal cloud
backend choice, the Enea Unified Data Manager can integrate
with any other backend supporting the Nudr interface or using
a standard access technology, such as LDAP. Standards Compliance
