• Back up virtual and physical servers and environments to cloud storage: Dell EMC provides comprehensive data protection and superior performance for backup and recovery.

Dell EMC data protection products comprise a wide range of cloud-enabled solutions that include data protection appliances, data protection and backup software and data protection solutions. Principal solutions that enable organizations to back up servers to cloud storage include:

• Data Domain: This scalable, reliable and cloud-enabled backup appliance enables fast backups and uses advanced deduplication to reduce the amount of disk storage needed to back up servers to the cloud.
• Data Domain Cloud Tier This software technology natively tiers data to the public, private or hybrid cloud for long-term retention. Deduplication helps reduce storage footprints for significant cost reductions.
• Data Protection Suite This suite of best-in-class software for replication, snapshot, backup and archiving covers all consumption models and protects data across the continuum in physical, virtualized and cloud environments.
• Cloud Snapshot Manager This SaaS solution makes it easy to protect workloads in AWS and Azure, without requiring installation or infrastructure. Designed for any cloud infrastructure, Cloud Snapshot Manager scales easily as data volumes grow.

Dell EMC comprehensive, 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 EMC 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 EMC 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, multi-cloud environments as well as on-premises servers and virtualized environments. Dell EMC simplifies management of backup operations with a single, global solution and centralized monitoring, analytics and reporting.

Why does deduplication let me back up servers to cloud storage more cost efficiently? 

Deduplicating data before copying it to cloud storage helps to reduce your storage footprint and the associated monthly costs. Dell EMC advanced deduplication technology provides greater  deduplication, significantly reducing the cost to backup servers to cloud environments.

Can I back up VM servers to cloud storage with Dell EMC? 

Yes. Dell EMC data protection technology provides automation, integration with VMware and comprehensive coverage for the largest application ecosystems on-premises and in the cloud.

Can I back up data already in the cloud with Dell EMC?

Yes. Dell EMC in-cloud backup technology lets you discover and automate backup and recovery in the cloud, reducing the amount of data protected by taking advantage of Dell EMC deduplication technology.
