| Streamline backup | Eliminate redundant data | Cost-effective |
| DR4000 is a fast, disk-based backup, data protection and recovery solution appliance that helps reduce workflow processes. | Help ease the pain of data growth and reduce disk capacity requirements by up to 93%. | Its all-inclusive licensing model helps ensure future features and additional benefits at no additional cost. Replication capability is included with DR4000. |
Advanced data protection and disaster recovery
DR4000 has built-in data protection safeguards in both hardware and software to verify backup integrity. The non-volatile RAM (NV-RAM) is designed to ensure data protection in case of a power loss and proactively detects corruption due to faulty hardware. The DR4000 target appliance has a RAID 6 configuration, allowing for up to two simultaneous hard drive failures without service interruption. Early Write software feature continuously validates data integrity.Improved disaster recovery capability is provided by the DR4000 through deduplicated replication. Replication enables better disaster tolerance without the operational costs associated with transporting data offsite on physical tape. Replication can be scheduled to occur during non-peak periods and prioritizes ingest data over replication data to ensure optimal back up windows. Deduplication coupled with replication can minimize the costs and inefficiencies associated with distributed backup environments.
Manage with simplicity
| The DR4000 data reduction and backup appliance is a turnkey solution designed to drop in to any backup workflow environment. Simple to install and simple to manage, the software-agnostic DR4000 supports industry-leading backup software applications, making deployment a breeze. The DR4000 can deliver fast, daily full backups more efficiently than traditional tape methods, providing a cost-effective disaster recovery solution which also helps reduce the burden on staff and eliminates tape requirements at remote offices. The result is a simple disaster recovery solution that also helps reduce capital and operational costs typically associated with backup and recovery. Find Out More |
Effective management is critical for obtaining full value from deduplication deployments. The DR4000 provides a graphical interface giving an overview of the system, including system status, hardware and software alerts, storage capacity and savings, and important system information such as system and software versions. The DR4000 automatically monitors the health of the hardware and verifies the integrity of the system software.
Future-proof your data center
A cornerstone technology of the Dell Fluid Data Architecture, Dell’s deduplication and compression technology found in the DR4000 delivers a data reduction and protection solution with the future built in. By accelerating and streamlining the backup process the DR4000 ensures that information restores are delivered in a timely and accurate manner — in time with business needs. Less data and less management processes frees-up administrator time to work on more strategically important initiatives, at the same time that protection against downtime and disaster has been augmented. The DR4000 changes the economics of disk-based data protection.Form Factor
