Dell brings data protection to backup and recovery appliances for SMBs

BANGALORE, INDIA: Dell Software announced the addition of two new offerings to its DL series backup and recovery appliances. Combining the  Dell’s PowerEdge servers with the power of its AppAssure data protection software, the new Dell DL4300 and DL1000 1TB appliances provide mid-sized and small companies with easy-to-deploy, turnkey data protection solutions.

Dell’s data protection solutions are used globally by more than 70,000 customers – including more than 8,000 added in the last year – who depend on them to add value to the business by minimizing downtime, safeguarding against data loss, and reducing costs and complexity.

“Customers using traditional backup and recovery solutions face several challenges with reliability and scalability of these solutions as well as complicated interfaces. New generation customers have moved on from the convolution of legacy backup and recovery solution. They are now looking for a solution which is more efficient, high-performing and reliable with modern components,” said Murli Mohan, Director & General Manager, Dell Software Group.

Dell DL series backup and recovery appliances work across physical, virtual and cloud environments, enabling customers to confidently protect critical data and applications regardless of location.

A complement to Dell’s existing DL1000 2TB and 3TB offerings, the DL1000 1TB provides the features and power of the DL in an aggressively priced package specifically designed to meet the unique needs of small businesses.

Available online, the DL1000 provides near-continuous data protection by taking snapshots as often as every 60 minutes, utilizing AppAssure’s changed data tracking and de-duplication that backs up and moves only data that has changed to minimize networking and storage requirements.
