COST SAVINGS OF DATA CENTRALIZATION
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND SERVICE LEVELS
Remove and retire backup equipment from remote 
sites, saving in maintenance and upgrades 
Remote and branch office systems run faster and with no 
backup impact, supporting higher productivity levels for 
business workers 
Repurposes backup server systems to other 
workloads 
Efficient use of networks through combined effect of data 
reduction from compression, encryption and deduplication 
Eliminate the cost of tape cartridges from remote sites Ability to enforce common policies for data management across
all data, including data created in remote sites
Eliminate service contracts requiring tape collection 
from each remote site 
Ability to report on management of all data, including centralized 
data, for executive oversight and validation 
Eliminate or reduce human error in data management Higher levels of reliability for preservation of data for disaster
recovery and legal discovery purposes
Remove the burden of tape rotation and oversight of 
backup/recovery from remote sites 
Higher levels of data reliability and reduced cost of remote office 
data protection 
However, until now, this type of approach has been too complex for many 
organizations to deploy.  In particular, IT teams with limited resources have been 
reluctant to change what they have done to protect remote site data because of 
concerns with network costs and security of the data, and because adding 
replication software required to centralize data from remote sites has not been 
simple enough. 
 
The Dell DL2000 powered by CommVault Simpana replication software solves the 
complexity issue for all types of organizations, large and small, and offers a 
method for centralizing data from remote sites that is simple, network‐efficient, 
and secure.  Dell has solved the complexity problem by offering a drop‐in storage 
device with all of the capabilities required to replicate data over WAN for any end‐
user file, email or application data stored on the storage system.  Dell also 
preserves the flexibility to deploy a software agent for replication from smaller 
sites, where adding storage may not be desirable. This solution also ensures 
network efficiency and data security over networks, with the use of CommVault 
Simpana replication which combines data compression, encryption and 
deduplication.   
 
For virtually the first time, data centralization can be simple, efficient and secure 
for all organizations and remote sites, large and small.  The Dell DL2000 powered 
by CommVault Simpana replication will help to accelerate company initiatives to 
capture, protect and preserve all data through the adoption of disk‐based 
initiatives and tape‐elimination strategies – even for data on the edge of their 
organizations.
