• Data Backup

    • The challenge of data backup in hybrid, multicloud environments

    • As computing environments become more complex and data volumes continue to grow exponentially, managing data backup has become far more difficult for IT administrators in organizations large and small.

      Business data today may reside in a wide variety of locations – from on-premises servers to virtualized environments and public or hybrid clouds. Data is more democratized, too, as users have more control over their data. The volume of data is doubling at an ever-faster rate, thanks to data-intensive applications, the Internet of Things and other intelligent data systems. Regulatory compliance is stricter and SLAs more stringent, even as IT departments face increasing pressure to reduce costs while accelerating business cycles and improving IT performance.

      Managing data backup in this scenario can be fraught with issues. That’s why more organizations are turning to powerful and industry-leading backup solutions from Dell Technologies.

    • How Dell data backup solutions solve data protection challenges

    • With data backup technology from Dell Technologies, organizations can easily overcome the most complex challenges to data protection today.

      Rapid data growth. Dell scalability enables your data backup technology to scale seamlessly without disrupting operations as your data volumes continue to grow. PowerProtect DD series appliances scale up to petabytes of usable capacity with a single system.

      Highly complex environments. Dell technology easily backs up data from any environment, from on-premises servers to virtual environments and the cloud. Protect everything from laptops to the largest data center, mixing and matching components across physical and virtual environments and delivering backups of data and applications within the public cloud.

      Stricter regulatory frameworks. Proactive monitoring, real-time analytics, comprehensive reporting, global copy data oversight and consistent backups across the broadest application landscape help to simplify compliance management.

      High expectations for performance and cost containment. Organizations can realize significant cost savings by accelerating backups, reducing or eliminating the cost of tape backup, minimizing the expense of managing backups, reducing storage footprints and minimizing the network bandwidth required for data backup. Dell Technologies also helps to achieve greater performance and minimize application impact through revolutionary primary storage array integration that delivers the performance of snapshots and the functionality of full backup.

      Fragmented backup technologies. Dell Technologies provides a single, comprehensive data backup solution that eliminates the need for multiple point solutions as well as the integration issues and data silos they create.

      Data backup solutions include cyber recovery solutions that help to protect critical data, identify suspicious activity and recover data easily with automated software. Cloud data protection technology enables you to back up servers to cloud storage with advanced deduplication for long-term retention and simplifies disaster recovery and in-cloud backup. Dell Technologies also provides powerful data protection for VMware environments on-premises and in the cloud, delivering higher performance, superior deduplication and lower bandwidth usage to reduce your cost-to-protect.


    • Understand your cost-to-protect with data backup solutions

    • Your cost-to-protect (CTP) is calculation of expense for protecting your data on a monthly basis. Reducing your CTP can not only help to reduce capital and operational costs but also to solve other data protection challenges.

      Data backup solutions deliver a very low cost-to-protect. To determine your potential savings with Dell solutions, use our Dell Technologies cost-to-protect (CTP) calculator to enter your gigabytes stored, the cost of your data backup and protection solution, the number of months supported by your purchase and several other criteria.
