Intelligent Data Systems

When considering which intelligent data systems to deploy, IT teams must take into consideration the wide range of intelligent data management challenges confronting organizations today.

Data volumes have never been greater and are growing at an unstoppable pace. At the same time, IT environments are more complex than ever, with data distributed across storage sites on premises and in public, private or hybrid clouds. Regulations are ever more stringent, complicating the use and storage of data and tying up IT staff resources with legal and compliance inquiries. Performance SLAs continue to get tighter, making it imperative that intelligent data systems not add additional strain on IT systems or increase backup windows. And despite all of these challenges, IT departments are required to do “more with less” as their budgets are constrained or even reduced.

For organizations seeking ways to cost-effectively combat the challenges of data management, Dell EMC provides intelligent data systems that drastically reduce the cost and complexity of managing and protecting data. 

Intelligent data systems from Dell EMC include:

• Data protection and backup appliances. Dell EMC appliances include cloud-enabled protection storage, software-defined solutions and integrated appliances that dramatically simplify data management.

• Data protection and backup software. Next-generation data backup and protection software from Dell EMC helps to protect data capital, simplify data management and unlock more value from business data assets.

• Data protection and backup solutions. Dell EMC Cyber Recovery solutions help protect critical data, identify suspicious activity and perform data recovery when needed. Virtualization solutions provide protection for VMware environments and deliver higher performance, superior deduplication, lower bandwidth usage and a lower cost to protect. And Dell EMC cloud data management technology enables in-cloud backup, long-term retention to the cloud and cloud disaster recovery while ensuring greater cloud data security.

Dell EMC intelligent data systems provide distinct advantages for organizations of all sizes.

• Easier management. Dell EMC intelligent data systems are designed to drastically simplify data management and to minimize the administrative burden on IT teams.

• Smaller footprints. Thanks to advanced deduplication technology, Dell EMC solutions can significantly reduce the footprint required for data protection.

• Faster backups. Dell EMC intelligent data systems enable fast backups, helping to minimize bandwidth costs and reduce the adverse impact of backup on applications and systems.

• Self-service options. Self-service functionality allows data and application owners to have more control over their data and to perform backup and recovery operations from their native applications.

• Easy scalability. PowerProtect X400 is a Dell EMC integrated data management appliance, which leverages the next generation PowerProtect Software platform. PowerProtect X400 is multi-dimensional, with scale-up and scale-out flexibility and the option of either all flash or hybrid capacity cubes. By featuring a multi-dimensional architecture with flexible capacity cubes, PowerProtect X400 is able to provide linear scaling of both performance and capacity. This flexibility opens up the potential the grow a PowerProtect X400 appliance with the pace of business.  

• Cloud enablement. Dell EMC intelligent data systems can support any mix of data in public, private and hybrid clouds as well as in data storage on premises.
