FAQs

PowerProtect Data Manager is a modern, software-defined cyber resilience platform that simplifies and automates cyber resilience for modern and traditional workloads. It serves as the central hub for managing protection policies, monitoring jobs, and ensuring recovery across your entire environment.

PowerProtect Data Manager provides comprehensive, native protection for a wide range of enterprise workloads and platforms, allowing you to consolidate cyber resilience under a single solution. Supported workloads include virtual environments, Kubernetes, databases and applications, NAS devices, and cloud workloads.

Transparent Snapshots, a capability available in PowerProtect Data Manager, revolutionizes VMware VM protection by providing a way to back up virtual machines without pausing the VM, eliminating application stuns and performance impacts. This technology uses a unique data mover that integrates directly with the vSphere hypervisor, bypassing the limitations of traditional proxy-based methods (VADP). The result is significant faster backups and restores, allowing you to run more frequent backups and meet aggressive recovery time objectives (RTOs) without disrupting business operations.

PowerProtect Data Manager works seamlessly with Dell PowerProtect Data Domain to create a highly efficient and secure cyber resilience solution. PowerProtect Data Manager acts as the orchestration engine, defining policies and managing workflows, while PowerProtect Data Domain serves as the industry-leading target storage appliance.

PowerProtect Data Manager extends powerful, enterprise-grade cyber resilience to your multicloud strategy. It allows you to protect workloads running in the cloud, move data to the cloud for long-term retention, and orchestrate disaster recovery in the cloud with key capabilities such as in-cloud backup, cloud tiering and cloud disaster recovery.

Yes, PowerProtect Data Manager provides comprehensive, software-defined data protection for multicloud environments. It empowers you to extend consistent data protection policies to workloads running in the public cloud, ensuring your data is secure regardless of where it resides. This includes protecting cloud-native applications, databases running on IaaS, and Kubernetes clusters.

Dynamic NAS Protection in PowerProtect Data Manager delivers a significant performance improvement over traditional NDMP-based backups. While NDMP typically relies on a single-stream process that can create bottlenecks, Dynamic NAS Protection uses a modern, scalable architecture to accelerate backups and reduce operational windows.
