Introducing the
PowerProtect Data Manager software
PowerProtect Data Manager software is an enterprise solution that provides software-defined data protection, deduplication, operational agility, self-service, and IT governance.
PowerProtect Data Manager key features include:
Software-defined data protection with integrated deduplication, replication, and reuse
Data backup and recovery self-service operations from native applications that are combined with central IT governance
Multicloud optimization with integrated
Cloud Tiering
SaaS-based monitoring and reporting
Modern services-based architecture for ease of deployment, scaling, and updating
PowerProtect Data Manager integrates multiple data protection products within the Dell EMC Data Protection portfolio to enable data protection as a service, providing the following benefits:
Enables the data protection team to create data paths with provisioning, automation, and scheduling to embed protection engines into the infrastructure for high-performance backup and recovery.
Enables backup administrators of large-scale environments to schedule backups for the following asset types from a central location on the
PowerProtect Data Manager server:
VMware virtual machines
File systems
VMAX storage groups
Kubernetes clusters
Microsoft Exchange and SQL databases
Oracle databases
SAP HANA databases
Network attached storage (NAS) shares
Uses an agent-based approach to discover the protected and unprotected databases on an application server.
Enables governed self-service and centralized protection by:
Monitoring Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
Identifying violations of Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs)
Supports deploying an external
VM Direct appliance to move data with a
VM Direct Engine. The
PowerProtect Data Manager software comes pre-bundled with an embedded
VM Direct Engine, which is automatically used as a fallback proxy for performing backup and restore operations when the external
VM Direct Engines fail or are disabled. Dell EMC recommends that you deploy external
VM Direct Engines, because the embedded
VM Direct Engine has limited capacity for performing backup streams. The embedded
VM Direct Engine is sufficient, however, for virtual machine crash-consistent protection policies that use the Transparent Snapshot Data Mover (TSDM) protection mechanism.
Supports the vRealize Automation DP extension, which enables provisioning of virtual machines with
PowerProtect Data Manager protection, on-demand backup, and restore to the original or a new location. The
vRealize Automation Data Protection Extension for PowerProtect Data Manager Installation and Administration Guide provides more information.
Supports integration of Dell EMC Cloud Disaster Recovery (Cloud DR), including workflows for Cloud DR deployment, protection, and recovery operations in the AWS or Azure cloud.
Supports PowerProtect Search, which enables backup administrators to quickly search for and restore VM file copies. The Search Service can be enabled by adding a search node to the configurable Search Engine that is autodeployed during the
PowerProtect Data Manager deployment.
Provides a RESTful interface that allows the user to monitor, configure, and orchestrate
PowerProtect Data Manager. Customers can use the APIs to integrate their own automation framework or quickly write new scripts with the help of easy-to-follow tutorials.
Integrates with Dell EMC PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot Manager to view PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot Manager jobs, alerts, and reports from a consolidated
PowerProtect Data Manager dashboard.
