Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Use cases for SMT

The following use cases summarize how Secure Multitenancy (SMT) can be deployed in protection storage infrastructures.

Local backup

In a local backup use case, a protection storage infrastructure is shared across clients, and deployment is local to the enterprise. The on-premises IT staff uses each Tenant Unit to back up the data of a specific business unit.

Replicated backup

In a replicated backup use case, the tenant performs local backups at their physical site, but does not want to own or manage a remote site for disaster recovery purposes. For this type of tenant, service providers can host multiple tenants, each replicating to their own Tenant Unit, to provide replicated backup services on a shared Data Domain backup appliance platform.

Remote backup

In a remote backup use case, a client does not perform local backups at the physical site. Instead, the client performs direct backups over the WAN to a hosted backup IT environment managed by a service provider or a hosted provider. Remote backup is used for traditional client-based backup and application-direct backup.
