OUR
APPLIANCES
ARE POWERFUL,
SIMPLE TO
MANAGE AND
MAKE IT EASY
TO EXPAND
TO PUBLIC
CLOUDS WITH
NATIVE CLOUD
CAPABILITIES.
Customers no longer have to bear the
expense and management of setting
up and maintaining a secondary site for
disaster recovery and can fail over to public
clouds with ease in case of a disaster event
and fail back when the issues are resolved.
With this expansion, all Data Domain
and IDPA models support AWS, including
VMware Cloud on AWS and Microsoft
Azure for Cloud Disaster Recovery.
Organisations will also find peace of
mind in that all Dell EMC data protection
appliances provide modern, simple-
to-manage user interfaces. Also,
administrators can easily manage multiple
Data Domain and DD VE appliances –
on-premises or in public clouds – from a
single user interface with the Data Domain
Management Centre.
Enhanced performance
to support already offered across AWS,
Microsoft Azure, Dell EMC Elastic
Cloud Storage, Virtustream, Ceph, IBM
Cloud Open Storage, AWS Infrequent
Access, Azure Cool Blob storage and
Azure Government Cloud. Also, a new
free-space estimator tool for Cloud Tier
helps enable more efficient capacity
management to help reduce on-premises
and cloud storage costs.
Dell EMC also expanded its ecosystem of
supported public cloud providers for Data
Domain Virtual Edition (DD VE), which
provides software defined data protection
on-premises and in public clouds, to AWS
GovCloud, Azure Government Cloud and
Google Cloud Platform.
Updates to the IDPA family now provide
more performance for Instant Access and
Restore with an enhanced data cache that
results in up to four times more inputs/
outputs per second (IOPS), providing
up to 40,000 IOPS with as little as 20
milliseconds latency.
Also, Data Domain appliances provide
faster restores from an on-premises
appliance and faster recalls from public
clouds. Given these enhancements,
organisations can now restore their data
up to two-and-a-half times faster from a
Data Domain appliance and recall their
data up to four times faster from the cloud
to a Data Domain appliance, allowing them
to meet more stringent SLAs.
More options for
mid-sized organisations
Choice and scalability are critical for
smaller, mid-sized organisations that
require enterprise-level, cloud-enabled
data protection. In addition to cloud and
performance updates, Data Domain
DD3300 – a 2U appliance specifically
designed for mid-sized organisations and
larger enterprises with remote offices – has
new hardware enhancements. DD3300 now
offers an additional 8TB capacity model
that can scale and grow-in-place to 32TB.
Also, DD3300 now comes with faster
networking capabilities with support for
10GbE and expanded backup options
for virtual tape libraries (VTL) over Fibre
Channel. These options provide mid-sized
organisations with a cloud-enabled data
protection solution that can grow as their
needs change.
Beth Phalen, President, Data Protection,
Dell EMC, said: “As the industry leader
in data protection appliances, Dell EMC
is committed to delivering continued
innovation in our data protection portfolio
that supports and improves customers’
adoption of multi-cloud environments.
“Our appliances are powerful, simple to
manage and make it easy to expand to
public clouds with native cloud capabilities.”
Dell EMC Data Domain Operating System
6.2, Dell EMC IDPA 2.3 and enhancements
to Data Domain DD3300 are available
immediately through Dell EMC and its
authorised channel partners. ◊
This adds to the already supported
platforms AWS S3 and Azure Hot
Blob. The expanded cloud ecosystem
combined with the previously announced
increased capacity for DD VE – up to
96TB per instance – ensures customers
will receive the same level of protection
within their growing cloud environments
as they receive from their on-premises
Dell EMC appliances.
Additionally, Native Cloud Disaster
Recovery is now available across the entire
IDPA family, enabling customers to cost-
effectively fail over to a cloud environment
with end-to-end orchestration.
