VMware has been a driving force behind the transition to the modern data, increasingly software-defined data center (SDDC) and the movement to the cloud. Dell EMC ensures businesses are able to protect their data throughout this transition by enabling simplified management, ease of scalability, comprehensive, multi-faceted support for the cloud, and protection of next generation IO intensive workloads. This is accomplished through industry-leading automation, performance and VMware integration. Challenges in Protecting the Software-Defined Data Center Protecting VM workloads is complex and presents challenges that are not easily met by data protection solutions built for legacy SAN based architectures. These challenges include: VM sprawl as a result of the growth of virtualization and the ease of spinning up new VMs, increasingly stringent protection requirements, and shrinking backup windows. Most other data protection solutions are not SDDC ready. They cannot scale efficiently as the number of VMs goes ups, can only protect a subset of applications, have inflexible networking requirements leading to complex and costly architectures, and offer limited automation resulting in increased operational costs. Modernize Architected for the modern and software defined data center, Dell EMC Data Protection ensures that your entire, comprehensive VMware environment is protected and can scale easily as the number of applications and the amount of data you need to protect inevitably continues to increase. Achieve unparalleled efficiency with deduplication rates of up 72x and up to 98% reduction in network usage, and protect a broader scope of VMware workloads, including workloads in the cloud and mission-critical I/O intensive applications.

Dell EMC Data protection also gives you more choice with industry leading support for converged infrastructures (optimized data protection for Dell EMC VxRail Appliance) and the Integrated Data Protection Appliance, which is pre-configured, simple to deploy, scalable, fast, efficient and cloud extensible. Automate Dell EMC Data Protection provides industry leading automation and integration with VMware to deliver higher performance data protection at a low TCO. You can rest assured that you are getting the performance and the protection you require at a value you have come to expect from the leader in data protection.
“On average we have one day less data loss in failure situations due to the Dell EMC solution.” - Peter Neuens, IT Operations Manager, Germany, Hoist Finance
Our solutions provide automation across the entire VMware data protection stack including VM backup policy, deploying and configuring data movers/proxies, and automating backups to protection storage. With Dell EMC Data Protection, it takes less than 5 minutes to deploy and configure a proxy. Additionally, automated provisioning of protection resources results in faster time to value and automated VM discovery and assignment to back policies makes sure all your VMs are protected and reduces administrative overhead. Dell EMC Data Protection solutions are also VSAN certified to support SDDCs. And, they are also fully integrated with vSphere to empower vAdmins to manage their own data protection directly from the native vSphere UI, while freeing up backup admins from routine tasks. Transform Dell EMC Data Protection is the ideal solution for businesses looking for seamless protection as they transform more of their workloads to a virtual environment and the cloud. Backup and recovery directly from the hypervisor or application enables expansion of VMware environments to mission critical, high IO workloads, dramatically speeds up backups, and provides greater self-service protection capabilities to application owners. The result – much faster backups, greater agility, and reduced costs and risk through automation and consolidated oversight. We also provide support for all stages of your journey to the cloud. Our solutions support long term retention to the cloud, disaster recovery in the cloud, backup and recovery in the cloud, and, most recently, we have partnered with VMware to deliver data protection for VMware Cloud workloads on AWS (providing fast, efficient and secure image and guest level backup and recovery for workloads running on VMware Cloud).
