Dell EMC powers cloud data protection portfolio with its IDPA

Dell EMC has launched Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA), a purpose-built, pre-integrated and turnkey appliance that converges protection storage, software, search and analytics in a single appliance.

IDPA provides data protection across a wide ecosystem of applications and platforms, and offers native cloud-tiering for long-term retention. It is flash enabled and VMware optimized for instant access and restore of virtual machines, enabling compliance with stringent RPO/RTO requirements for VMware environments and customers can also leverage the flash enabled capabilities to use appliance as live storage for dev-test environments.

Ripu Bajwa, Country Manager- Data Protection Solutions, India, Dell EMC said, "We are delighted to launch IDPA as it brings together protection storage and software, including powerful search, monitoring and analytics, provides coverage for a wide range of applications, both physical and virtual, delivers efficient and high performance protection and recovery, and extends data protection seamlessly to public and private cloud. As the present industry landscape is ever changing, it is important for us to provide our customers with solutions that are easy to deploy, cost effective and hoslistic.”

In today’s world, one can never be too careful when it comes to data protection as there are always multiple products to manage (e.g., backup software, backup servers, search servers and multiple vendors), which can result in lengthy and time-consuming deployments, siloed data protection environments and complex and expensive management. Hence, Integrated Data Protection is the way forward which has multiple benefits such as simplicity of a single user interface for typical daily operations, ability to scale without overhead for the security, encryption, fault detection and healing as well as ease of deployment.

This is a holistic approach to data protection will enable customers to greatly simplify and lower the overall cost of their data protection environment.
