Data Management

Simplify Data Management with Dell Technologies

As data becomes both more voluminous and business-critical, organizations need data management solutions that can fill a broad range of objectives. At a minimum, intelligent data management technology must protect data from loss, compromise, corruption and theft. But data management tools must also reduce the cost and complexity of data storage, archiving and compliance while ensuring high data availability and optimal performance for IT systems.

Dell Technologies provides next-generation data backup and protection software, appliances and other solutions that enable businesses large and small to fulfill their data management objectives.

The Obstacles Data Management Tools Must Solve

Choosing the right solutions enables IT organizations to minimize the burden of data management tasks while solving critical data challenges.

Growing data volumes
The growth of data shows no sign of slowing, thanks to technology trends that include Big Data, the Internet of Things, the rise of video as a communication medium and business applications that are increasingly data-intensive.

High performance expectations
Even as data management becomes more complex, business reliance on data is greater than ever. Consequently, backup windows are growing smaller, requiring more powerful enterprise backup software and intelligent data management solutions that can protect data without impacting application performance.

Stricter regulation
The need to comply with a wide variety of regulations adds yet another layer of complexity and cost to data management.

Complex IT environments
Intelligent data management systems must not only manage data on-premises but in public, private and hybrid clouds, providing data administrators and decision-makers with a unified view of cloud data across all environments.

Cost containment pressures
IT organizations in virtually every industry are pressed to do more with less, requiring data management technology that reduces administrative burden while improving efficiency and automation.

Multiple, fragmented tools
Many IT organizations are saddled with a confusing mix of point solutions for data and cloud management, with one system for backup and recovery, another for archiving and yet additional solutions for disaster recovery, analytics, virtualized environments and cloud data management. This approach to data management is less efficient and more costly. It also increases the chances for data loss and minimizes the opportunities to extract value from business data.

Data Mangement FAQs

Data management comprises a variety of tasks, including:

  • Protecting data from loss, corruption and theft.
  • Designing and implementing architecture for data storage and protection.
  • Archiving inactive data to long-term retention.
  • Ensuring data is used, managed and retained in compliance with regulations.
  • Optimizing tools and storage to minimize the cost of using and storing data.

Cloud data management is the practice of managing and protecting data that is stored in public, private or hybrid cloud environments. Cloud management solutions must maintain the quality and ensure the security of cloud data, while providing fast access to cloud data assets and delivering 360° visibility into data stored across all environments. Cloud data management technologies may also automate data backups and simplify governance of cloud data assets.

Data archiving is the task of moving inactive but important data from costly primary storage to more cost-efficient secondary storage. Archived data often includes information that must be kept for historical records, compliance purposes or future reference.
