Introduction
The Dell PowerVault ™ DL2000 – Powered by CommVault ® Simpana
® 8 is a high performance backup solution that is available in
two bundled suites, the Advanced Deduplication Edition and the
Standard Edition. The Advanced Deduplication Edition that comes
with the Performance Optimized hardware is for customers that
require the data reduction benefits of end-to-end block based
deduplication. The Standard Edition that comes with the Value Series
hardware is for value conscious customers that do not require all the
features of the Advanced Deduplication Edition.
