What differentiates Dell Data Protection Suite for Archive from other similar products?

It's been a fantastic experience in every way. The various hardware and software appliances have all worked together flawlessly so far. With Data Protection Central, you can monitor the health of all your backups using either Networker or Avamar in one place. I appreciate the comprehensive approach to data security that includes archiving as well as ensuring that data is always available in any environment, be it physical, virtual, or cloud-based. Integrating with primary and protection storage platforms and hypervisors, EMC has also developed a range of enterprise applications.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Automated data backup and recovery across multiple IT environments is made easier and more efficient thanks to data integrity and inter cloud operability. NetWorker provides a wide range of options for protecting critical business information.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Disconnects between support and engineering in regards to appliance software updates have been the biggest challenge experienced so far. Most of the time, these disconnects are related to "at or near capacity" alerts that have no impact on the actual system operation, and thus cannot be updated. versions of the firmware that have been retired.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure that the DELL EMC team is aware of all of your requirements before the setup is complete so that they can ensure that your needs are met.

Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Storage Optimization 'Storage optimization, unlike std. backup & restore, is for long term data storage, organizing it to find & restore information easily

Long Term Data Retention The software should have fault tolerant abilities in order to recover from minor data corruptions. Depends largely on the media (such as tapes)

Data Encryption Protects your data from those who have physical access to storage media (including secure storage provider), and ensures data has only authorized access

Platform Support Does the data archive system provide the hardware platform support that the organization needs.

Restore to Current Format Ability to restore to whichever “current” format the organization has in place at the time of archive data restoration

Data Compression Allows for more data to be stored on media. Data compression can potentially slow down access times to the data

External Storage Connectivity Data archiving usually stores data on external, removable media that is optimized for long-term storage, at an offsite location.

Multiple Format Support Ability to support multiple media formats, including tape, WORM drives, optical media, etc. Also, proliferation of cloud and support cloud storage.

Data Deletion Control and Space Gain The ability to reclaim valuable hard drive space freed due to the data archiving process based on the software’s successful confirmation & verification

Data Format Native Generic Offers multiple options from native proprietary format to industry-standard generic format to restore or import onto any target system

Granularity 'The granular storage of data, such that it can be searched and recovered in an expedient manner.

Vendor Capability Ratings Average rating of all vendor capabilities, some of which may not be shown below
