Providing a combination of storage appliances, backup software and data protection solutions, Dell enables IT teams to:

• Back up servers to cloud environments: Take advantage of cloud-enabled data protection solutions to back up servers to public, private or hybrid cloud environments. Dell solutions leverage the economics and agility of the cloud to eliminate the risk and overhead of tape backups and to backup servers to cloud storage easily and cost efficiently.
• Back up servers to cloud disaster recovery sites: Dell simplifies disaster recovery with solutions for simpler, faster disaster recovery with lower administrative and infrastructure costs.
• Manage and back up servers for long-term retention in the cloud: Advanced deduplication technology reduces the footprint required for backup storage for long-term retention in the cloud, significantly reducing costs and the complexity of managing cloud backup.
• Back up virtual and physical servers and environments to cloud storage: Dell provides comprehensive data protection and superior performance for backup and recovery.

Dell data protection products comprise a wide range of cloud-enabled solutions that include data protection appliances, data protection and backup software and data protection solutions. Principal solutions that enable organizations to back up servers to cloud storage include:

• PowerProtect DD series appliances: This scalable, reliable and cloud-enabled backup appliance enables fast backups and uses advanced deduplication to reduce the amount of disk storage needed to back up servers to the cloud.
• PowerProtect DP series appliances: Formerly Integrated Data Protection Appliances (IDPA), deliver backup, replication, recovery, search, and analytics. Easy to deploy and manage, they can help consolidate data protection software and hardware for any size organization.
• Cloud Tier: This software technology natively tiers data to the public, private or hybrid cloud for long-term retention. Deduplication helps reduce storage footprints for significant cost reductions.
• PowerProtect Data Manager: software defined data protection, automation, deduplication, self-service and IT governance for physical, virtual and cloud environments.
• PowerProtect DP series appliances (formerly Integrated Data Data Protection Appliance (IDPA): backup, replication, recovery, search, and analytics. Easy to deploy and manage, they can help consolidate data protection software and hardware for any size organization.
• Data Protection Suite: This suite of best-in-class software for replication, snapshot, backup and archiving covers all consumption models and protects data across the continuum in physical, virtualized and cloud environments.
• PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot Manager: This SaaS solution makes it easy to protect workloads in AWS and Azure, without requiring installation or infrastructure. Designed for any cloud infrastructure, Cloud Snapshot Manager scales easily as data volumes grow.

Comprehensive Dell, cloud-enabled technology easily overcomes the traditional hurdles that IT teams encounter when trying to back up servers to cloud environments.

Shrinking backup windows
Attempts to back up servers to cloud environments often run into trouble as backup windows shrink to meet objectives for application performance and availability. 

High-bandwidth utilization
Traditional solutions often require significant WAN resources to backup servers to cloud storage. Dell technology reduces WAN utilization due to superior deduplication.

Compliance requirements
Compliance becomes more challenging when data is moved to the cloud and organizations lose control over domain and location. Dell provides policy-driven backup management that simplifies compliance and lets IT back up servers to cloud storage with confidence.

Complex, distributed environments
As enterprise IT environments become more complex, data protection and backup may involve data residing in hybrid, Multicloud environments as well as on-premises servers and virtualized environments. Dell simplifies management of backup operations with a single, global solution and centralized monitoring, analytics and reporting.

Why does deduplication let me back up servers to cloud storage more cost efficiently? 

Deduplicating data before copying it to cloud storage helps to reduce your storage footprint and the associated monthly costs. Dell advanced deduplication technology provides greater  deduplication, significantly reducing the cost to backup servers to cloud environments.

Can I back up VM servers to cloud storage with Dell? 

Yes. Dell data protection technology provides automation, integration with VMware and comprehensive coverage for the largest application ecosystems on-premises and in the cloud.

Can I back up data already in the cloud with Dell?

Yes. Dell in-cloud backup technology lets you discover and automate backup and recovery in the cloud, reducing the amount of data protected by taking advantage of Dell deduplication technology.
