The Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA) is an all-in-one backup appliance that reduces the complexity of managing multiple data silos, point solutions, and vendor relationships. IDPA simplifies deployment and management while delivering powerful, enterprise-grade data protection capabilities for small, midsized, and enterprise organizations with a low cost-to-protect ratio.

The IDPA provides a solution for data-protection administrators who are accustomed to configuring and managing one or more data-protection and storage devices but are challenged to manage independent and disconnected applications.

IDPA System Manager enables administrators to efficiently manage the IDPA components from a single user interface. This interface includes monitoring, reporting, analytics, and search capabilities to help simplify the data-protection experience.

The IDPA (Figure 1) streamlines the configuration and the integration of data-protection components in a consolidated solution and also offers the following benefits:

• Simplified deployment and configuration
• Backup administration
• Deduplication
• Native cloud data reduction (DR) and long-term retention (LTR)
• Instant access and restore
• Monitoring and analytics
• Search
• Scalability
• Unified support
