Dell Mainframe Services and Solutions
Dell offers a comprehensive suite of mainframe solutions and services to provide cyber resiliency, data protection, automated recovery and connectivity for your business backed by over 30 years of expertise.
Cyber Intrusion Detection and Protection for Mainframe
Dell zCID, zDP, zCPA and SnapVX technologies enable businesses to detect mainframe cyber intrusions and restore DASD and virtual tape in the event of a cyber-attack while minimizing the amount of space required to do so.
- Dell SnapVX and zDP technologies provides users with immediate access to point-in-time copies of data in the event of a cyber attack
- PowerMax DASD allows users to choose scheduling frequencies that match recovery requirements; as granular as every five minutes with an option to make some or all snapshots
- DLm virtual tape with Power Protect DD storage enables recovery of tape data following a cyber attack, undetected data corruption or human error. Retention lock technology secures tape volume snapshots
- Save time and expense by creating virtual cyber vaults as well as physical cyber vaults at the primary site, disaster recovery site, or a dedicated cyber recovery location
- Time to recover from a cyber event is minimized. Data snapshots are pointer-based and do not require data be copied, moved, or rebuilt using journals
Disk Library mainframe (DLm)
Dell release 5.5 combines massive scalability and new storage options with enterprise class data protection and security for all mainframe workloads.
- Attach up to two Powermax storage arrays, including the new PowerMax 2500 and PowerMax 8500
- Attach up to four PowerProtect DD or Data Domain storage arrays
- GDDR Tape automated fail-over supports multiple DLm sites and enables control of multi-tenant environments
- PowerProtect DD deduplication provides market-leading capacity and replication bandwidth savings
PowerMax DASD for Mainframe
- Cyber Intrusion Detection for Z Systems (zCID) mainframe data anomaly detection works in conjunction with Data Protector for Z Systems (zDP) to protect data from a cyber attack
