Dell Releases New Converged Data Protection Platform in Dense 2U Platform
Mid-sized companies and organizations have always found it difficult to enjoy reliable data protection. The enterprise category products are too expensive and complex for the small to mid size organizations while lower end models force a compromise on application support, efficiency and performance.
Dell EMC has come to the rescue of the small and midsized organizations by introducing the Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA), the Dell EMC IDPA DP4400. The system offers simple and comprehensive converged data protection, enabling midsized entities to have powerful IT while accounting for complexity and data sprawl.
What Makes the IDPA DP4400 A Good Deal?
The IDPA DP4400 from Dell EMC brings a powerful and reliable solution for businesses and comes with enterprise range features for deduplication, data backup, recovery, and replication. Organizations can also use the built-in cloud environment and look for longer periods of data retention and disaster recovery in the cloud.
Comprehensive Data Protection Solutions
While most big organizations have been investing heavily in data protection solutions, it is no secret that smaller and medium enterprises do not have it as easy.
The President of Data Protection at Dell EMC, Beth Phalen, noted that mid-sized organizations didn’t have access to comprehensive data protection solution for a long time. The products were also not meant for midsized organizations, and the high price was also a detrimental factor for acquiring them. She added that the IDPA DP4400 comes with no compromise- they were offering a converged data protection system which is powerful and simple to use.
The product supports huge scale expansion in the cloud and multiple application ecosystem. She expressed that the IDPA DP4400 delivers the right kind of modern capabilities and features to midsized data centres with a low cost of protection.
A Look at the Data Protection Device: The Top Things You’ll Love
The converged data protection device features a dense U2 platform and is driven by PowerEdge 14th generation servers from Dell EMC. Midsized organizations find it easy to manage and deploy as it comes with a user friendly HTML 5 user interface and is customer installable. The interface can automate daily activities such as monitoring, reporting, and management. You can even scale a single 24 TB appliance to 96 TB without any additional hardware- you only need a license key.
The system has a average of 55:1 deduplication and can protect up to 5PB of usable data limit. The total capacity of protected data increases to 14.4PB in case of long term retention with native Clout tier. You also don’t need any additional hardware for Cloud Disaster Recovery which is enabled by AWS. Users can also take help of end-t-end orchestration and resolve failback with two clicks and failover with three clicks.
The appliance also supports a large number of ecosystems out of the box such as physical and virtual version of MongoDB and MySQL. Furthermore, it supports numerous hypervisors like Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere. vAdmins can perform the common recovery and backup tasks directly using the vSphere UI. Additionally, the device is able to protect up to 5 times more VMs through a single 2U appliance. The whole VMware is able to go through more automations such as the deployment of proxies, VM deployment, and transfer of data to protection storage.
The IDPA DP4400 uses NVMe flash for a striking performance and can reduce the backup window by two times. It requires almost 98% less bandwidth to back up the deduplicating data and provides support for 7 times more backup streams. Users are also able to instantly access and restore virtual machines to account for strict RPOs and SLAs.
