Better Protection, Faster Recovery

The PowerVault™ DL2000 family was designed to make it simpler to keep your data safe. In addition to providing basic disk-based protection to all your servers and your applications, they offer the following advanced features:

The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by Symantec® Backup Exec™ offers these advanced features:

•Granular Recovery Technology for Speedy Restores: Patent-pending Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) for critical Microsoft® applications, including Exchange, SharePoint® (MOSS), and Active Directory, lets your administrator recover granular objects from a single-pass backup by simply browsing and selecting it. Recover specific items such as public folders and individual mailboxes — even individual e-mails, attachments, and calendar items — all without a time-consuming full restore.

•Continuous Data Protection for Exchange: Continuously protects Microsoft Exchange and file data by backing up changes to the disk in real time as they occur. Improves the overall level of data protection and reduces administrative complexity because it eliminates the need for full, incremental, or differential backups for Exchange data.

•Protection for VMware™ Virtual Machines with Lower Cost and Complexity: Managing backups on virtual machines can be difficult and expensive due to licensing requirements. The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by Symantec Backup Exec incorporates award-winning

technology for virtual machine protection. The Agent for VMware Virtual Infrastructure includes protection for an unlimited number of guests on an individual ESX host. In addition, Backup Exec leverages several VMware technologies, including VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB), that make backing up and restoring virtual machines faster and easier.

•Protection for Desktops and Laptops: Backup Exec’s Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO) lets users automatically protect multiple desktops and laptops via a network share. DLO lets users choose continuous, scheduled, or manual backups and provides an intuitive interface that lets users access their most up-to-date data whether they’re in the office or on the road.

CommVault offers:

•Data Deduplication: The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by CommVault has a built-in compression and deduplication capability that stores data only once, eliminating redundant blocks across consolidated backup sets. No longer are you limited to one or two full backup cycles on disk. Deduplication lets you 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 95%** with deduplication.

**Data deduplication can reduce storage requirements by up to 20x compared to the same amount of tape, which in turn

can reduce backup windows, increase restore times, and save money. Individual results will vary. See the CommVault data deduplication calculator at Dell. com/DL2000 to better estimate potential reductions based on various factors relevant to your storage environment.
