In the Fall, Rolta AdvizeX and EMC held an event focused on EMC’s Data Protection and Availability Division (DPAD).
Mark Sanders, Director of Sales Strategy for EMC DPAD, discussed the power of EMC’s current Data Protection Portfolio and why EMC is the industry leader in data protection. EMC was recently named a leader in both of Gartner’s New Magic Quadrants for Backup: Magic Quadrant for Deduplication Backup Target Appliances and Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup Software and Integrated Appliances. They have the distinction of being the only vendor named in both quadrants.
Why choose EMC for data protection? EMC can meet the challenges of today’s data centers such as the high terabyte data backup requirements. Let’s take a deeper look. EMC’s data protection suite offers:
- Scalability – Data Domain’s deduplication was designed from the ground up, so it has no scale limitations. Built-in data verification processes and steps in EMC’s deduplication product make it so that more scale does not equal a slower backup. As data is written, it is validated end-to-end before it is deleted from memory, then the data is validated again weekly without any performance hits.
- Flexibility – EMC offers choice. Customers can leverage multiple options to meet their own specific requirements. Using the EMC data protection suite, IT Management can meet their requirements of scheduled backups and managing retention. At the same time DBAs (database administrators) get the access and control they want to perform their own ad hoc backups and recoveries without using their own local disk space.
- Deduplication Efficiency – Superior deduplication matters and EMC has the most efficient deduplication on the market, which in turn equals lower TCO for their customers. EMC’s high speed in-line deduplication algorithm is optimized for lots of different workloads. Back up storage is reduced by 10 to 30 times; you only back up unique data, and therefore, move less data.
EMC’s Data Domain (DD) and Data Domain Boost products are industry standards. EMC has created key functionality that solves large database backup problems. Data Domain utilizes deduplication storage systems for next generation back up, recovery, and archiving. Additionally, DD Boost allows you to speed backups up to 50% while using up to 99% less bandwidth. As Mark put it, “DD Boost makes backups run like they stole something.” He shared the story of a customer who went from taking 6 days to back up their 2.1 TB Oracle database logs down to 1 hour and five minutes using EMC’s Data Protection products.
