Adding to the snapshot and replication abilities of PowerStore, Dell Technologies offers data-protection software that integrates with the PowerStore data protection features. Dell AppSync is optional software that can be used to enhance the overall application protection.
AppSync is software that enables integrated Copy Data Management (iCDM) with Dell primary storage systems, including PowerStore. It supports many applications, including Oracle, and storage replication technologies. For the latest support information, see the AppSync Support Matrix at the Dell E-Lab Navigator.
AppSync simplifies and automates the process of creating and using snapshots of production data. By abstracting the underlying storage and replication technologies, and through application integration, AppSync allows application owners to manage data-copy needs themselves. The storage administrator only needs to be concerned with initial setup and policy management, resulting in a more agile environment.
