• SMB Data Protection

    • Make SMB data protection easy with Dell

    • While protecting business data has become a critical priority for businesses of every size, the task of SMB data protection (protection for small- to medium-sized businesses) has become increasingly complex and costly. 

      Data volumes are doubling at an ever-faster rate and data is now stored in a wider variety of locations – from on-premises servers and data centers to virtualized environments and the cloud. Regulatory compliance is more complicated than ever, and performance SLAs are more stringent. And as the challenges of SMB data protection continue to mount, the pressure for IT departments to reduce cost and to “do more with less” continues to grow.

      Dell provides market-leading enterprise and SMB data protection solutions that help to overcome all the challenges of protecting data while minimizing the administrative burden on IT teams as well as the cost of data protection.

    • Future-Proof your SMB data protection solutions

    • Even though their need for innovative SMB data protection solutions is critical, many organizations are understandably hesitant about investing in new technology. SMB data protection requirements and technologies are constantly evolving, and organizations are concerned that their new technology may be inadequate within 6 to 12 months.

      The Future-Proof Program is designed to help customers optimize their IT lifecycle through guarantees, offers, and assurances. Future-Proof includes offers such as a 3-year satisfaction guarantee – competitors offer only 30-day guarantees, and Never-worry data migrations – with Dell Technologies, it’s simple to move to next gen storage with seamless upgrades and built-in data migration tools and more.


    • Calculate your cost-to-protect with SMB data protection solutions from Dell

    • Use our cost-to-protect (CTP) calculator to see how much you could save with SMB data protection technology. Knowing your CTP is critical to containing costs while ensuring performance and managing shrinking backup windows. Your CTP calculation is based on the cost of your SMB data protection solution, the gigabytes required for storage, the months supported by your purchase and other criteria.
