BACKUP-TO-DISK AND RECOVERY WITH DEDUPLICATION
eXeCutIVe Summary
A growing number of IT managers are concerned that traditional backup methods aren’t
keeping up with the needs of the business. Existing backup and recovery operations often
fail due to media management issues and human error associated with legacy tape backup
methods. As data continues to explode within environments, IT is having trouble meeting
backup windows with standard tapebased solutions. The unfortunate reality is that many
storage administrators are unsure if they could ultimately recover 100% of their
data in the event of a loss.
Advancements in technology and price reductions have made it possible to use
disk-to-disk based backup and recovery methods to improve the speed and
reliability of backup and restore operations. As a result, backup-to-disk (B2D) has
emerged as an important storage category. The DellTM PowerVaultTM DL2100
powered by CommVault® is a complete backup-to-disk backup and recovery
appliance.
Unlike other standard backup-to-disk offerings, the PowerVault DL2100 powered
by CommVault offers built-in deduplication and a built-in platform that can
support the growth of an organization. File, document and email attachment
deduplication delivers immediate, easy-to-quantify capital and operational cost
savings relative to standard backup-to-disk offerings. CommVault Simpana offers a
singular platform that delivers unified data management from one product and
interface. As a result, customers can easily add advanced options to protect
remote offices, implement disaster recovery solutions and archive old,
infrequently accessed files sitting on expensive production tiers.
