Dell PowerVault DL2000 - Manual (Page 2)

BetteR than Vtl
Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs) are “point products” that can help fix backup and recovery bottlenecks in the short run. But they’re separate “boxes” that create
silos of information and add management complexity. Virtual tapes have to be created, provisioned, and managed from a separate interface, and VTL products
lack alerting and reporting within the backup solution. The PowerVault DL2000 is a native, disk-to-disk solution that is designed to eliminate the need for
manual setup and management. It automatically and dynamically provisions disk, invisibly to the user, and gives you proactive monitoring, alerts, and reporting.
RedUce oFFsite tape stoRage By Up to 90 %
The PowerVault DL2000 is available with the Dell PowerVault TL2000, TL4000, or ML6000 tape library integrated into the full solution. Take advantage of
deduplication to disk for rapid recovery, then transfer deduplicated data to reduce the amount of offsite tape media..
Remote management, monitoRing, and RepoRting
Your data center administrators can use the PowerVault DL2000’s integrated management console to set backup tasks and policies and do system monitoring
and maintenance from their central location. This makes the PowerVault DL2000 the ideal backup solution for remote offices that don’t have IT experts on-site.
The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by CommVault features built-in robust alerting and reporting so you can quickly detect and determine problems before
they slow down operations.
distRiBUted pRotection oF data centeRs and BRanch oFFices
Pairing two PowerVault DL2000 devices across geographically distributed sites helps you replicate your deduplicated backups efficiently. Managed from a
central site, each remote PowerVault DL2000 delivers rapid recovery at the branch office where it's located, and also lets you protect your data with a replica
copy at your DR site that you can use for restores or tape creation.
continUoUs pRotection oF data
The PowerVault DL2000 with CommVault features Continuous Data Replicator (CDR) agents that are designed to deliver continuous protection for your
servers with critical recovery objectives. You can use these CDR agents to provide secure, byte-level file, Exchange, SQL, or Oracle® data for consolidated
backups from your production servers to a centralized PowerVault DL2000.
single-step gRanUlaR RecoVeRy
Efforts to restore lost data can range in scope from a full system recovery to recovering an individual e-mail. The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by CommVault
provides the fast and easy recovery of individual objects with single-step, individual object recovery.
synthetic FUll BackUps RedUce peRFoRmance impact on applications
Frequent full backups can take a toll on server I/O and can slow down user applications. The PowerVault DL2000 — Powered by CommVault removes that
performance burden by continually backing up smaller, incremental changes from production servers and merging them with unchanged data to create a
synthetic full backup copy. Patented Smart Client technology reduces the incremental backup time by tracking all of the files that have changed.
File and e-mail aRchiVal agents RedUce pRimaRy stoRage Use
The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by CommVault's File, E-mail and SharePoint Archiver software moves infrequently accessed data from production servers
and archives it. Your end users and applications retain normal access to the archived items at all times. By archiving your server data, you can achieve smaller
backups and faster recoveries.
