With improvements in disk technology and cost, disk-to-disk backup has become a preferred solution for protecting data, a valuable corporate asset. However, there is a world of difference between writing backups to disk and designing a disk-based data protection solution optimized for fast and reliable recoveries.
Dell Technologies is the industry’s leading provider of purpose-built backup appliances (PBBAs). Dell PowerProtect DD series appliances are uniquely designed for cost-efficient, fast, and verifiable data protection. DD series deduplication technology provides up to 65:1 data reduction. DD series technology enables network-efficient WAN and FC vaulting for disaster recovery (DR), remote office data protection, and tape consolidation.
In addition, DD series appliances offer unprecedented levels of data integrity, verification, and self-healing, which are unavailable in traditional file systems or conventional disk systems. DD series appliances support a wide array of third-party backup applications, including Commvault. DD series appliances offer remarkable improvements in performance, reliability, and TCO to any IT organization considering disk-based solutions for both onsite and offsite data protection.
This paper describes how to configure various protocols of DD series appliances with Commvault backup software.
