Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.14.0.0 Release Notes for DM5500

All copies are stored on the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance's integrated protection storage, which provides industry-leading deduplication and hardware-assisted compression to minimize data center footprint, power consumption, and costs. The system starts at 12TB of Active Tier storage, which can be expanded in-place up to 96TB. A native Cloud Tier for long-term retention data, with no additional hardware required, provides up to twice the licensed Active Tier capacity on Dell Elastic Cloud Storage or a variety of public clouds. The appliance supports 10G and 25G networking, with capabilities to add networks to separate Management and specific Data use cases.

Once deployed, the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance provides true single-pane-of-glass management. Storage and Appliance Management are in the same HTML5-based UI as Policy and Asset Management, Health Monitoring, Search, Reporting, and System Configuration. The integrated Identity and Access Management provides a single login for all management operations, with extensible authentication capabilities including Active Directory and Multi-Factor Authentication. The PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance also includes features like Retention Lock Compliance Mode to provide data immutability and mitigate cyber threats.
