Data protection for storage arrays is the next-generation storage array block volume data protection solution with PowerProtect Data Manager or PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance (DM5500). This solution enables backup administrators to perform data protection for block volumes and volume groups on PowerStore storage arrays using PowerProtect Data Manager.
This solution addresses some of the data protection challenges by providing the following capabilities, among others:
Alternatively, administrators can natively integrate PowerStore with PowerProtect DD and send backups directly to PowerProtect DD using PowerStore Manager. This native integration from PowerStore to PowerProtect DD allows administrators to protect the resources (volumes and volume groups) on PowerStore. Administrators can initiate remote backup operations directly from PowerStore Manager with a remote connection to a PowerProtect DD.
