zDP, built on TimeFinder SnapVX, provides consistent point in time copies of data that automate and enhance an IT environment’s ability to recover from logical errors or pervasive logical corruption, such as ransomware encryption. zDP provides 288 times more recovery capability compared to daily snapshot, clone, or traditional TimeFinder technology. However, zDP does not prevent users from using existing JCL and slowly migrating to SnapVX and zDP.
With zDP, IT infrastructures can experience outstanding data protection. At each release of Mainframe Enablers, zDP continues to add many new usability features to give customers more insight and control of this tremendously powerful Dell Technologies exclusive feature.
