Dell EMC IDPA DP4400

Key features of Dell EMC IDPA DP4400 – an integrated data protection solution that simplifies backup and disaster recovery management for organizations of any size:

• Offers consolidated data protection based on the Dell EMC PowerEdge 14G Server platform, combining proven server hardware with dedicated backup software
• Combines dedicated data protection storage, Data Domain software, search engine, and analysis tools into one appliance, eliminating the complexity of integrating multiple products from different vendors
• The device also has the capability to connect cloud resources, enabling data replication to public cloud as an additional protection layer

DP4400 is simple to manage, deploy, and update thanks to its predefined configuration and intuitive management interface. The device can be operational in less than 3 hours – significantly faster than traditional solutions composed of separate components. It scales from 8 TB to 96 TB of effective capacity.

Expansion between 8 TB and 24 TB is done only through license activation. This eliminates the need for hardware intervention, which in turn ensures continuity of operation while increasing capacity. Above 24 TB, expansion requires adding drives, but the process is also designed for minimal downtime.

Built-in Data Domain deduplication and compression significantly reduce the amount of stored data. Summarizing the functionalities, IDPA DP4400 delivers the most cost-effective data protection tool – savings of up to 80% in the amount of data stored. This allows us to protect 4x more data with the same physical capacity.

The solution supports a wide range of environments: and Hyper-V virtual machines, Oracle and SQL Server databases, SAP applications, and standard file servers.
