DELL EMC POWERPROTECT DD

DD series delivers the most trusted protection storage in the market. DD series provides industry-leading deduplication, scalability, reliability, performance, unparalleled data integrity to ensure reliable recovery, and a broad ecosystem of backup and archive applications.

PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition (DDVE) is a software-defined data protection solution of DD series, thereby maintaining all the core differentiating features of DD series. DDVE is fast and simple to download, deploy, and configure. DDVE can be up and running in minutes on any standard server, converged or hyper-converged. DDVE delivers increased transactional and operational efficiencies, reliability and lower TCO by utilizing object storage in addition to block storage.

Transactional and Operational Efficiencies

• Ability to write or backup data into the object store directly in addition to block storage

• Can support AWS S3 and Azure Hot Blob object stores

Manageability

• Single point of management with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC)

• Configure and deploy using VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V Manager

• Deploy multiple instances of DDVE in-cloud

• Manage configuration templates across multiple systems, onpremises or in-cloud

• DD series appliances are now integrated with Dell EMC CloudIQ. CloudIQ provides proactive insights and performance analytics across supported storage, data protection, and hyper-converged products

cloud. DDVE in the cloud allows for both backup and replication. Data can be moved to an on-premise DD series and backup to the cloud, or even backup and replicate data between two instances of DDVE running in the cloud or on-premise. This allows multiple DDVE instances to be spun up in other regions and backup and replicate the data over to keep everything consistent.

DDVE scales up to 96TB (on-prem) and up to 256TB (in-cloud AWS, Azure Google Cloud) per instance and you can pay as you grow in as little as 1TB increments and distribute this capacity in multiple instances as needed across the environment. DDVE maintains the core DDOS features and includes DD Boost, DD Encryption and DD Replicator.

Powerful Management

Dell EMC PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC), can provide the same dashboard-based resource management, monitoring and reporting center for the physical DD series as well as DDVE. DDMC is now available as a free download without the need of any license.

DDMC provides aggregated management for multiple DD series appliances (physical and virtual). DDMC can view capacity and replication management as well as manage health, secure multi-tenancy and status resource monitoring.

Data protection for virtualized environments

*Based on Dell EMC internal testing comparing DDVE in-cloud restore performance with DDOS 7.2 compared to DDOS 7.1, May 2020 Actual results may vary.

DDVE can provide data protection to multiple virtual server environments based on VMware ESXi, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM. DDVE can protect data, backup and restore between virtual machines on the same server, across multiple servers or in the cloud. It can serve protection across multi-tenant environments too.

DDVE supports the following hypervisor versions:

VMware ESXi: Version 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0

VMware vSphere: Version 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0

Microsoft Hyper-V: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016

KVM Linux distributions from Ubuntu, RedHat, SUSE, and CentOS

DDVE can be deployed and configured by VMware vSphere, Hyper-V Manager, and respective KVM Linux distributions manager.

Take full advantage of cloud efficiencies

DDVE can protect applications running in any supported cloud environment – AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, AWS GovCloud, Azure Government Cloud, and VMware Cloud on AWS. As part of DDOS 7.2 we have increased our in-cloud restore performance by up to 3.1x.* DDVE can be downloaded from the AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud marketplace, as well as orderable via Dell EMC. DDVE in Azure now supports the premium SSD feature allowing for higher levels of performance. With DDOS 7.4 DDVE supports premium BLOB storage for 96TB instances. DDOS 7.5 includes increased regional coverage for DDVE running in the Azure China cloud.

Efficient utilization of cloud storage

DDVE can increase transactional and operational efficiencies in addition to providing significant cost savings, by providing the ability to write data or backup into the cloud object store directly. These object stores can belong to AWS S3 Standard or Microsoft Azure Hot Blob. In this way, you can also ensure increased reliability and larger capacity in the cloud.

DDVE use cases in the cloud

DDVE delivers the benefits of DD series industry-leading protection storage with the agility, flexibility, and efficiency of a software-defined DD series solution. Some of the use cases are:

• Protecting databases, workloads, and applications

• Replication to a public cloud
