The explosive growth of public cloud computing is transforming enterprise IT infrastructure. More and more enterprises are adopting a multi-cloud strategy that requires a seamless cloud-native data protection strategy. Managing different tools across clouds to protect workloads running in different cloud environments is costly and can become overwhelming. What’s required is an automated, enterprise-grade solution that provides global visibility and control over the protection of workloads in the cloud.
PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot Manager is a SaaS component of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager and requires no hardware or installation. It automates the protection of cloud-native workloads using tag-based policies and leverages the underlying snapshot technology of the cloud. Customers use a single tool to discover, orchestrate, and automate the protection of workloads across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). With Cloud Snapshot Manager, you can control costs and avoid snapshot sprawl. With APEX Protection Storage (DDVE) integration’s industry-leading deduplication, you can store your backups for a longer period. Designed for any size cloud infrastructure, Cloud Snapshot Manager scales as your organization and data grows.
