PowerProtect Data Manager: Extending Enterprise Workload Capabilities
The latest release of PowerProtect Data Manager continues to evolve enterprise-level workload protection capabilities for Microsoft, SAP and Oracle. The addition of Active Directory granular level recovery empowers users with precision and control, reduces recovery times and streamlines data management. Similarly, centralized protection operations for SAP HANA and Exchange streamlines data protection operations and helps ensure unified backup and recovery with simplified management. Lastly, multi-stream backups for Oracle RAC delivers faster, more flexible data protection within your SLAs.
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance: Scaling Simplicity and Management
Enhancements to the Data Manager Appliance increase scalability without compromising simplicity. With new capacity shelves, the Data Manager Appliance now offers up to 256 TB, which supports a broader range of use cases, including the capacity to meet the majority of Dell PowerStore customer data protection requirements. PowerStore customers can now take full advantage of Storage Direct Protection, which delivers fast, efficient and secure backup and recovery for PowerStore directly to PowerProtect appliances.
“With a very small IT team responsible for many tasks across several locations and an outdated backup strategy in place, we needed an updated and resilient enterprise-wide solution that was quick to deploy and provided us the assurance that our data was protected and recoverable. Dell’s PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance checked all the boxes and accelerated our path to reliable, modern data protection by simplifying our IT operations and strengthening cyber resiliency.”
