    • Dell overcomes challenges to back up servers to cloud storage

    • Comprehensive Dell, cloud-enabled technology easily overcomes the traditional hurdles that IT teams encounter when trying to back up servers to cloud environments.

      Shrinking backup windows
      Attempts to back up servers to cloud environments often run into trouble as backup windows shrink to meet objectives for application performance and availability. 

      High-bandwidth utilization
      Traditional solutions often require significant WAN resources to backup servers to cloud storage. Dell technology reduces WAN utilization due to superior deduplication.

      Compliance requirements
      Compliance becomes more challenging when data is moved to the cloud and organizations lose control over domain and location. Dell provides policy-driven backup management that simplifies compliance and lets IT back up servers to cloud storage with confidence.

      Complex, distributed environments
      As enterprise IT environments become more complex, data protection and backup may involve data residing in hybrid, Multicloud environments as well as on-premises servers and virtualized environments. Dell simplifies management of backup operations with a single, global solution and centralized monitoring, analytics and reporting.
