- Combined solution leverages powerful
deduplication and compression technology to ease the burden of
rampant data growth
Dell Software today announced that NetVault® Backup, its
enterprise data protection solution, has been fully integrated with
the Dell DR4100, a scalable, disk backup appliance with built-in
deduplication and compression capabilities. The integration is
reflective of Dell Software’s ongoing effort to deliver integrated,
end-to-end solutions that address today’s most salient customer
challenges, including the need to transform data centers to deliver
increased efficiency and scalability, and the need to protect
critical data and information across the enterprise. Seamless
integration between NetVault Backup and the DR4100 enables
customers to minimize network traffic, shrink backup windows, and
maximize storage savings while protecting critical data across a
wide range of operating systems and applications running in complex
physical and virtual environments.
The integration comes at a key time for customers grappling with
the explosion of data across the enterprise. According to Gartner1
analyst Dave Russell, “The value of data reduction technologies,
such as deduplication cannot be overstated. Deduplication improves
the economics of disk-based backup and recovery approaches by
reducing data — resulting in significantly lower disk requirements
and cost, and providing more efficient and faster replication of
backup data to off-site locations.”
News Facts:
NetVault Backup now leverages the DR4100 Rapid Data Access (RDA)
technology, providing a deeper level of integration and automation.
NetVault retains end-to-end control of all backup tasks, while
delegating control of storage management to the DR4100 appliance.
This unique and powerful combination delivers a host of critical
customer benefits, including:
- Faster backups. Tighter
integration between NetVault and the DR4100 via RDA results in
significantly faster backup rates. ESG Lab testing with multiple
simultaneous streams validated a 7.5TB per hour ingest rate using
this solution2.
- Source-side deduplication. By
way of the DR4100 advanced deduplication and compression
technology, NetVault customers can now deduplicate data directly at
the source of the backup. This source-side approach minimizes
backup traffic over the network, while test results show the use of
deduplication can reduce the overall storage footprint by up to 91
percent2.
- Optimized replication for efficient
disaster recovery. Customers can now schedule and manage
replication of deduplicated data from one DR4100 appliance to
another, directly from the NetVault Backup console, enabling a
variety of disaster recovery and remote-office backup scenarios.
NetVault is automatically made aware of the completion and location
of replicated data copies, enabling fast restores and reliable
disaster recovery.
- Consolidated tape storage. As
data volumes grow and businesses become more distributed across
remote sites, decentralized tape libraries have become increasingly
expensive to maintain and time-consuming to manage. NetVault Backup
customers can now ease that burden by replicating backup data from
multiple DR4100 appliances to a single target, and then archiving
that consolidated data to tape.
In addition to NetVault, Dell Software will deliver similar
integration between the DR4100 and its vRanger® VMware backup,
replication and recovery solution beginning in Q1 of calendar year
2014.
Availability:
- NetVault Backup and the DR4100 are
available direct from Dell and through the channel.

Scott Mills, chief security strategy officer, ISC8
“We have limited IT staff and had been using a hodgepodge of
backup methods that were unreliable and required a lot of manual
intervention. We were looking for a solution that would allow us to
streamline our backup operations and meet our RTOs and RPOs at a
cost-effective level. And we don't want to spend a lot of time on
backup and recovery. We chose NetVault Backup and the DR4100
because the solution is now fully integrated. We are now able to
centrally manage backup and recovery across our main data center
and remote offices located in Asia, MENA, Europe, and the U.S. It's
a simple solution, helping us to improve productivity and keep our
end users focused on their core business functions.”
Srinidhi Vardarajan, general manager, Data Protection, Dell
Software
“As they grapple with exponential data growth, increasingly
distributed systems, and the demand for data and services to be
available and accessible at all times, organizations need backup
and recovery solutions that are fast, reliable, and — above all
else — easy to use. By leveraging the power of the Dell portfolio
to deliver deep integration across the NetVault and DR4100 product
lines, we’re bringing to market an end-to-end solution that enables
customers to back up data in a faster, more efficient manner, while
ensuring the organization is protected in the event of a
disaster.”
