The new high performance Dell DR4100 disk backup appliance can
help customers reduce the amount of necessary backup storage
capacity — by up to 15 times — with Dell’s built-in data
deduplication and compression technologies. Latest advancements in
Dell’s backup appliance offer customers expansion shelves for
improved storage capacity, increased “many-to-one” replication
capabilities for improved disaster recovery, and additional backup
software certifications for enhanced interoperability.
“Companies of all sizes are tasked with managing the persistent
growth of data, and they often struggle with cost-efficiently and
effectively handling data backup and recovery,” said Alan Atkinson,
vice president and general manager, Dell Storage. “For those
looking to augment or replace traditional tape environments with
the speed and reliability of a disk-based solution, the Dell DR4100
simplifies backup and recovery while optimizing storage resources.
The addition of expansion shelves, combined with our advanced data
deduplication and compression technologies, offers customers a
simple, affordable and scalable way to manage data protection.”
The easy to deploy and manage Dell DR4100, based on the latest
Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers, is a disk backup target
appliance with built-in deduplication and compression technology
designed to significantly reduce the amount of storage required.
Benefiting from Dell’s acquired Ocarina data reduction algorithms,
customers can eliminate redundant copies of data and decrease disk
capacity requirements by up to 93 percent. The appliance performs
all data reduction operations, removing this function from the
customer’s application and backup servers and eliminating any
impact on backup and recovery performance.
The appliance can reduce or eliminate the dependence on managing
tape backups while enabling customers to maintain their backup data
on disk longer, enabling fast and reliable restores when needed.
Additional Dell DR4100 capabilities and benefits include:
- Scalable Capacity — Offers
customers the ability to add up to two expansion shelves (9,18 or
27 terabytes each), providing seamless scalability and larger
capacity than competing platforms.2 Customers can scale their
solution from 2.7 terabytes to 81 terabytes of usable capacity — or
up to 1.2 petabytes of logical capacity — as their business and
data backup demands grow. 1
- Improved Disaster Recovery —
Fast, daily, deduplicated replication of backup data can be
performed using many-to-one replication that supports up to 32
nodes in different locations replicating to one central node. This
can reduce the burden on IT staff backing-up many sites by
providing a simple disaster recovery solution that can help reduce
capital and operational costs associated with it, while minimizing
backup storage needs at remote offices.
- Broader Backup Software
Certifications — Designed to work with a vast array of backup
software applications, the Dell DR4100 supports leading vendors
including Dell (AppAssure and Quest), Symantec, CommVault, Oracle
and CA among others.
The Dell DR4100 can be deployed in five initial usable capacity
configurations ranging from 2.7 to 27 terabytes. With its
deduplication and compression technology, the Dell DR4100 allows
logical capacities at up to 15 times usable capacity. The appliance
also features an all-inclusive software licensing model that can
reduce storage costs over time by offering premium features, such
as replication, DR Rapid Data Access and future functionalities, at
no additional cost.
Additional Quote:
“The Dell DR4000 has increased our backup performance while the
data deduplication technology has reduced our backup storage
footprint, allowing us to cost-effectively retain backups for
lengthy periods of time,” said Darryl Glass, Hosting Manager at
South Africa-based First Technology. “With the availability of the
Dell DR4100 and the all-inclusive licensing model, we have the
option to upgrade our software at no additional cost and add
expansion shelves to easily add capacity as we need it.”
Availability:
- The Dell DR4100 will be available
through Dell and its channel partners worldwide this March
2013.
