Deployment Best Practices
This topic describes best practices related to the deployment of System Center Data Protection
Manager (DPM) 2007.
DPM 2007 System Requirements
• Before you install System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007, you need to ensure
that the DPM server and the computers and applications it is going to protect meet network
and security requirements. You must also ensure that they are running on supported
operating systems and that they meet the minimum hardware and software requirements.
For information about DPM 2007 System Requirements, see DPM 2007 System
Requirements (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66731).
Network Requirements
• If you are protecting data over a wide area network (WAN), there is a minimum network
bandwidth requirement of 512 kilobits per second (Kbps).
Hardware Requirements
• We recommend that you install DPM on a 64-bit machine.
• You can install DPM on the same volume that the operating system is installed on, or you can
install DPM on a different volume that does not include the operating system. However, you
cannot install DPM on the disk that is dedicated to the storage pool, which is a set of disks on
which the DPM server stores the replicas and recovery points for the protected data.
• If you have critical data that you want to store, you can use a high-performance logical unit
number (LUN) on a storage area network rather than the DPM-managed storage pool.
