    USC Australia

    • Saving hours a day with automated data protection

    • Modern data protection is vital to USC Australia because it is a growing research university. They require efficient backups and fast data restores that are successful 100% of the time. Dell EMC PowerProtect appliances and PowerProtect Data Manager provide them with a combined hardware and software solution that automates protection of newly deployed VMs and saves hours a day on management. As the university grows and their IT environment moves to Kubernetes, they know their Dell EMC solution will grow with them.

    • Protecting research with fast, reliable backups

      Since students’ research activity has been growing exponentially, USC Australia needed to strengthen its data protection capabilities. The university was already a Dell customer, so it was a seamless transition to Dell EMC Data Manager.

    • Simple, automated, intuitive: data protection as it should be

      At USC Australia, data is extremely important. The university needs its software to work quickly without hours of setup and maintenance. Dell PowerProtect Data Manager was easy to install, and all staff have to do is maintain the dashboard.

    • Moving beyond traditional approaches

      With 20,000+ students and exponential growth of research data, USC Australia needs fast, efficient backups and 100% successful restores. PowerProtect Data Manager and PowerProtect appliances work seamlessly together in the VMware environment.

    • "We don't need a large amount of disk. We're currently getting an over 96% deduplication rate, which is just astronomical.”

      — Drew Hills, Infrastructure Analyst, USC Australia

    • "PowerProtect Data Manager combined with PowerProtect appliances – that's cutting edge. That's world leading as far as we're concerned."
