Supported PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE deployment configurations

In order to protect virtual machine assets in GCVE on GCP, PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE can be deployed in a couple of ways.

When deploying PowerProtect Data Manager and DDVE, two possible deployment environments are Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE on GCP) and the Google Cloud Marketplace (GCP). The following table describes the supported deployment configurations of the two products:

Table 1. Supported deployment configurationsSupported deployment configurations
PowerProtect Data Manager	DDVE
Google Cloud VMware Engine	Google Cloud Marketplace
Google Cloud Marketplace	Google Cloud Marketplace

When deploying PowerProtect Data Manager to GCVE on GCP, an Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) is used. This puts PowerProtect Data Manager into the GCVE-on-GCP environment in order to protect the VMware assets. When deploying PowerProtect Data Manager to GCP, a machine image is used. This puts PowerProtect Data Manager into a cloud-marketplace environment, but still allows the VMware assets in the GCVE-on-GCP environment to be protected.

For more information about the different deployment types, see the PowerProtect Data Manager Deployment Guide and the PowerProtect Data Manager Google Cloud Platform Deployment Guide.
