Cyber Intrusion Detection and Protection for Mainframe

Dell zCID, zDP, zCPA and SnapVX technologies enable businesses to detect mainframe cyber intrusions and restore DASD and virtual tape in the event of a cyber-attack while minimizing the amount of space required to do so.

• Dell SnapVX and zDP technologies provides users with immediate access to point-in-time copies of data in the event of a cyber attack
• PowerMax DASD allows users to choose scheduling frequencies that match recovery requirements; as granular as every five minutes with an option to make some or all snapshots
• DLm virtual tape with Power Protect DD storage enables recovery of tape data following a cyber attack, undetected data corruption or human error. Retention lock technology secures tape volume snapshots
• Save time and expense by creating virtual cyber vaults as well as physical cyber vaults at the primary site, disaster recovery site, or a dedicated cyber recovery location
• Time to recover from a cyber event is minimized. Data snapshots are pointer-based and do not require data be copied, moved, or rebuilt using journals
