DPX

What is DPX?

Fast, low-impact backup, instant on-premises recovery, tape, and cloud.

The affordable data protection alternative

What values do you look for in a backup solution? How about these:

• Reliable backup that works
• Quick recovery when you need it
• An open storage model
• Affordable and easy-to-understand licensing

With robust backup and recovery capabilities. Patented block-level protection reduces backup time and impact by 90% for physical and virtual servers. Files and applications are easily retrieved directly from the backup store. The DPX software-defined vStor backup repository lets you create your own backup target to meet your unique performance and capacity requirements without having to rely on expensive single-use devices.

Whether you want to completely restructure your backup environment or just need a better solution to a specific problem (NDMP, SharePoint, long-term data archiving, remote offices, SQL table restore, BMR), catalogable DPX is exactly what you need.

Data protection

On-time and reliably backing up, they're leading the data protection challenges. With backup technology you reduce backup time by 90% and almost never need to troubleshoot a backup failure. Finally, you can be sure that your data is securely secureand available when you need it. And the vStor backup repository lets you create backup targets to your own specifications to meet your performance and capacity requirements.

Rapid recovery and disaster recovery

No one likes to wait for a recovery when business operations are down. You can restore the systems in the time it takes to initialize them using our patented Instant Virtualization technology. Snapshots can be mapped to replace lost volumes with just two mouse clicks. For targeted recoveries, you can quickly recover files, Exchange and SharePoint items, SQL database tables, and more, without having to restore an entire database or volume. Catalog recovery works locally or remotely to support crash recovery scenarios. Data replication allows you to efficiently move data out of place.

Ransomware Protection

Ransomware infestations are growing at a record pace. Unfortunately, many of these viruses go unnoticed by antivirus systems and there is no guaranteed way to keep them out of your organization. When ransomware occurs, the only feature is to have a secure backup.

DPX block-level backups are stored as immutable snapshots. This means that unlike backups stored as files, block backups cannot be handled by ransomware. Your backup data is secure.

This allows you to back up your critical systems more often, which means you'll lose less data when you need to recover. Provides multiple recovery points so you can turn the clock immediately before infection. The speed of recovery is crucial to recover your organization to operational status. Offers the best way to protect against electronic attacks.

Cloud integration

Organizations are increasingly migrating to the cloud for long-term backup storage. Categorical DPX makes it easy to send backup images to the cloud and easily finds them when you need them. Backups can be sent directly to Amazon Cloud or Microsoft Azure. Or, using an integrated cloud storage device, numerous public and private clouds are accessible.

Tape or Tape Replacement

Tape is the IT technology that's always working, but it's never gone. Many organizations still rely heavily on tape, which is why it features full support for multiple drives and tape formats. This is not a simple tape: it is true, enterprise-class tape management. But if you're ready to leave the tape, it also offers true disk-to-disk and disk-to-cloud protection that can make you say goodbye to the tape forever.

Remote office backup

Sebeing remote offices has always been a challenge. Legacy backup tools are often very complex. Simplicity is important when on-premises IT staff can be limited. Bandwidth concerns are also significant. Categorical DPX shines in both aspects. The vStor data repository can be as simple as a single virtual machine, making it the perfect solution for smaller offices. Local vStor provides rapid on-premises recovery, while data replication sends copies back to the data center for true data centralization and disaster recovery.
