PowerVault DL2200 Backup to Disk Appliance - Powered by CommVault Start Protecting Your Data Up To 4.5 Times Faster

Start Protecting Your Data Up To 4.5 Times Faster

Simpler and Faster to Set Up and Manage

The Dell™ PowerVault™ DL Backup to Disk Appliance powered by CommVault® (part of the Dell TierDisk family of products) is one of the industry's first and only integrated solution for faster disk-based backups and recoveries that lets you start protecting your data in just 27 minutes.

Dell has simplified the backup process by offering an integrated hardware, software and services solution powered by CommVault. The PowerVault DL Appliance comes factory-installed with CommVault SimpanaTM software and a unique wizard driven set up and management utility. The backup software comes with integrated automated dynamic disk provisioning that configures and sets up the disks for immediate use. Set it up, configure storage, add more disks —it only takes a few clicks.

Integrated Tape Support


The PowerVault DL Appliance is available with the Dell PowerVault TL2000, TL4000, or ML6000 tape library integrated into the full solution. Take advantage of backup-to-disk for quick availability, then transfer to tape from the same management console for offsite disaster recovery.

Built-in Data Deduplication-Reduces Storage by up to 95%*

The exponential growth in data has caused a similar growth in the need for storage. Deduplication technology can help reduce the need to store the same data repeatedly.

The PowerVault DL Appliance – Powered by CommVault has a built-in compression and deduplication capability that stores blocks only once, eliminating redundant segments across consolidated backup sets. By storing only unique instances on disk and maximizing the number of recovery points, you're storing less redundant data for more rapid restores.

Faster, More Reliable Backups

Managing backups with tape can be complex and time-consuming. Backups to tape often exceed their backup window, and tape-based backups can be prone to failure.

Disk-based backup with the PowerVault DL Appliance – Powered by CommVault Simpana software can reduce backup windows even more than traditional backup-to-disk software. It takes advantage of disk’s random read/write capability and writes data faster, in “chunks” rather than as large, sequential files. Plus an integrated solution with hardware, software and services is a cost-effective way to reduce total cost of ownership.
PowerVault DL2200 Backup to Disk Appliance - Powered by CommVault Distributed Protection of Branch Offices

Distributed Protection of Branch Offices

Pairing two PowerVault DL Appliance devices across geographically distributed sites delivers efficient replication of deduplicated backups. Managed from a central site, each remote PowerVault DL Appliance delivers rapid recovery at the branch office, while ensuring you are protected with a replica copy at your DR site for restores or tape creation.

Continuous Protection of Data

The PowerVault DL Appliance with CommVault Continuous DataReplicator (CDR) agents can offer continuous protection for servers with critical recovery objectives.

Production servers use the CDR agents to provide secure, byte-level file, Exchange, SQL, or Oracle® data to a centralized DL Appliance for consolidated backups.
PowerVault DL2200 Backup to Disk Appliance - Powered by CommVault File and E-mail Archival Agents Reduce Primary Storage Use

File and E-mail Archival Agents Reduce Primary Storage Use

The PowerVault DL Appliance with CommVault File, E-mail and SharePoint Archiver software removes infrequently accessed data from servers and archives it for unified backup and archive protection. However end users or your applications will still have normal access to the archived items at all times. Archiving server data controls data growth resulting in smaller backups and faster recoveries.

PowerVault DL Backup Appliance – Powered by CommVault is available in both a Standard Edition and an Advanced Deduplication Edition. Each edition comes with five File System Agents, and additional optional agents are available.

CommVault SnapProtect™ : End-to-end, Snapshot-Aware Data Protection

With the PowerVault DL Appliance powered by CommVault’s patent pending SnapProtect™ Enabler, EqualLogic SAN snapshot management controls are coded directly into the data protection agents, delivering combined protection/recovery capabilities within a single operation from beginning to end. CommVault’s SnapProtect™ Enabler is a simple checkbox option within Simpana Software that effectively takes the backup process and supercharges it with the ability to integrate EqualLogic array snapshots.

Synthetic Full Backups Reduce Performance Impact on Applications

Frequent full backups take a toll on server I/O and can slow down user applications. The PowerVault DL Appliance – 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.

Software

  • The DL2200 Backup to Disk Appliance - Powered by CommVault® comes bundled as two suites:
    Standard Edition: Includes CommServe Master Server, MediaAgent, and 5-File System Agents
