FAQs

Data Domain appliances are purpose-built backup and recovery systems designed for cyber resilience. These appliances offer the world’s best data reduction and integrate seamlessly with a broad ecosystem of backup software vendors. They lead the industry as the world’s most secure platform for cyber resilience, featuring a secure supply chain, hardware security with chain of trust, and tamperproof data immutability to support a Zero Trust architecture. Ideal for recovering from hardware failures or ransomware attacks, they simplify operations and reduce risks for organizations of all sizes.
Data Domain uses advanced, variable-length deduplication to intelligently identify and store only unique data segments across all backups. This process significantly reduces the amount of physical storage required—typically 75:1 data reduction—which lowers costs and improves efficiency. It ensures that redundant data is not stored multiple times.
Yes, they offer robust protection against ransomware through features like immutable storage and Cyber Recovery integration. The system can create a secure, air-gapped copy of your critical data. This makes it isolated and recoverable after an attack.
Security is built into its core with unique capabilities such as a secure supply chain, tamperproof data immutability, and hardware security with chain of trust. It supports Zero Trust architecture and end-to-end encryption ensuring robust protection against threats while maintaining data integrity and resilience.
Data Domain stands out as the world’s most secure platform for cyber resilience due to a comprehensive, trusted and unique collection of capabilities for cyber resilience, including: secure supply chain, Mature Zero Trust security, immutability, managed detection and response, durability, chain of trust, secure remote access controller, and secure period.
Data Domain appliances are designed for seamless integration with a large ecosystem of backup applications, including Dell PowerProtect Data Manager. This allows you to strengthen your cyber resilience strategy without a major overhaul. It provides a flexible and reliable target for your existing software.
Absolutely. Data Domain provides efficient and secure data protection for multicloud workloads. It allows you to natively tier deduplicated data to the cloud for long-term retention, disaster recovery, and cost-effective storage management.
It uses the patented Data Invulnerability Architecture, which performs continuous fault detection and self-healing to protect against data integrity issues. This ensures that your backup data is always correct and recoverable when you need it most. This built-in capability provides confidence in your ability to restore operations.
You can expect fast and reliable performance for both backup and recovery operations. The system's architecture is optimized for high-throughput data ingestion and rapid restores. This helps you meet stringent backup windows and recovery time objectives.
It lowers TCO through a comprehensive set of performance and efficiency capabilities that are due to a hardened and proven architecture. With the world’s best data reduction, it drastically cuts storage and network bandwidth requirements. This efficiency translates to lower costs for hardware, power, and cooling as well as management costs.
Yes, it is an ideal solution for cost-effective, long-term data retention. Features like retention lock help meet strict compliance and governance requirements by preventing data from being altered or deleted. You can also tier older data to the cloud to further improve costs.
Physical appliances offer dedicated hardware for maximum performance and scalability in your data center. The virtual edition provides the same core features in a flexible software-defined format. This makes it perfect for smaller sites, remote offices, and cloud environments.
It supports efficient disaster recovery by replicating deduplicated data over your existing wide area network. Because only unique, compressed data is sent, it requires minimal bandwidth. This makes it fast and cost-effective to maintain a remote copy of your critical data for recovery.
Yes, it excels at protecting virtualized workloads from platforms like VMWare and Hyper-V. It integrates directly with virtualization management tools. It also leverages deduplication to significantly reduce the storage footprint of virtual machine backup.
