Why DELL EMC IDPA is a name for data protection?

There is more pressure than ever on your business to deliver the kind of experience your customers have grown to expect – immediate, always on, accessible from anywhere, at any time, where their personal and transactional information is secure.

This massive data growth across applications, cloud and mobile platforms, exhibits no sign of a projected slow down any time soon. These increases in data volumes, users and devices are causing significant business challenges, which have made data security, data protection and business resiliency, one of the TOP concerns for all IT organisations.

To address these demands, Dell EMC IDPA™ (Integrated Data Protection Appliance) offers complete backup, replication, recovery, deduplication, instant access, restore, search and analytics within a single appliance. With software capabilities supporting cloud readiness, disaster recovery and long-term retention to the cloud, IDPA is ten times faster to deploy than traditional solutions and number one in data protection appliance and software markets¹.

IDPA is flash-enabled and combines protection storage, servers and software, search and analytics, with simplified system management from a single dashboard. It provides protection across the largest application ecosystem (including modern applications like MySQL and MongoDB), physical, virtual, and cloud. IDPA supports multiple hypervisors (vSphere and HyperV) and offers integration with VMware, SQL and Oracle native management tools, so that admins can continue to use familiar UIs.

By adding IDPA to the environment, our customer can:

Simplify the backup process with Google-like search capability and comprehensive reporting from a single dashboard view
Reduce protection storage required by taking advantage of an average 55:1 deduplication ratio.
Improve performance and protect data faster with 98% less bandwidth required to meet the most stringent SLAs and RPOs.
Natively extend into public and private clouds for disaster recovery and manage up to 150PB of logical capacity for long-term retention
