Integration of Dell APEX Block storage for AWS with DDVE provides a backup solution to customers running diverse types of generic applications and enterprise databases. For example, an Oracle database running on PowerFlex software-defined storage can securely store backup to Amazon S3 object storage used as a DD storage unit. Our solution shows that BoostFS and the Oracle RMAN agent on DD client machines running in the AWS cloud can be easily deployed. The validation shows efficient deduplication and compression benefits using BoostFS for generic applications and the Oracle RMAN agent for an Oracle stand-alone database running in the AWS cloud platform.
