disk-Based BackUp that’s52% FasteR than Backing Up to tape with 77% FasteR RestoRe capaBilities*

Managing tapes can be complex and time consuming. Backups to tape often exceed their backup window, and tape-based backups can fail due to media or handling issues. Disk-based backup with the PowerVault DL2100 — Powered by CommVault is up to 52% faster than tape, and restores are as much as 77% faster, with up to 19%greater reliability. And CommVault’s Simpana software reduces backup windows even more than traditional backup-to-disk software. It takes advantage of disk’s random read/write capability and writes data faster, in “chunks” rather than as large, sequential files. This means faster backups and restores — as much as 77% faster recovery times.

BUilt-in data dedUplication: RedUces stoRage By Up to 15 times **

The PowerVault DL2100 — Powered by CommVault has a built-in compression and deduplication capability that stores files only once, eliminating redundant files, attachments, and documents across consolidated backup sets. No longer are you limited to one or two full backup cycles on disk. Deduplication letsyou keep weeks of complete recovery copies on a smaller disk footprint. You get optimal recovery performance while minimizing your storage investment and reducing your storage requirements by up to 15 times with deduplication.
**Data deduplication can reduce storage requirements by up to 15x compared to the same amount of tape, which in turn

The PowerVault DL2100 – Powered by CommVault is thefirst of Dell’s TierDisk family of products, designed to provide cost-optimized solutions for secondary storage environments for data protection and data management.

can reduce backup windows, increase restore times, and save money. (Individual results will vary. See the CommVault data deduplication calculator at DeLL. CoM/DL2100 to estimate reductions based on various factors.)

Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs) are “point products” that can help fix backup and recovery bottlenecks in the short run. But they’re separate “boxes” that create silos of information and add management complexity. Virtual tapes have to be created, provisioned, and managed from a separate interface, and VTL products lack alerting and reporting within the backup solution. The PowerVault...
