The Dell EMC Unity XT 380 and DP4400 duo: Comprehensive architecture for data storage and backup protection

04/04/2022
Belonging to the mid-range storage array line, the Dell EMC Unity XT 380 is well-suited for various businesses with diverse needs. The Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA) DP4400 is designed to bring together several Dell EMC backup and recovery technologies into a single converged solution.

Designed for high performance of Dell EMC Unity XT 380

The Dell EMC Unity XT 380 is a mid-range, specialized storage solution from Dell EMC suitable for businesses that are new to Dell EMC's storage offerings.

The Dell EMC Unity XT 380 emphasizes performance, providing high-speed access to business data with a 75% faster response time. It also delivers twice the read and write speeds and accelerated mixed workloads with its enhanced Intel Skylake multi-core processors (2 x Intel CPUs, 12 cores per array, clock speed of 1.7 GHz).

With its robust performance, the Dell EMC Unity XT 380 is capable of handling large workloads and multiple applications concurrently.

Featuring raw storage capacity of up to 2.4 PB and support for a maximum of 500 drives (for 2.4 PB capacity), this server line optimizes processing efficiency by reducing inline data consolidation, resulting in superior total cost of ownership (TCO). Additionally, businesses can activate a multi-cloud strategy, integrating with VMware Cloud Foundation, deploying cloud storage, or seamlessly tiering data to the cloud, as shared by the company.

Despite its impressive power, the Dell EMC Unity XT 380 is user-friendly, with a quick installation time of just 15 minutes and configuration in 10 minutes, thanks to its intuitive and user-friendly web-based (HTML5) management features.

The integrated Data Protection Appliance IDPA DP4400

Businesses, especially in the mid-range and branch offices of large enterprises, face increasing pressure in terms of investment and IT infrastructure management. This includes challenges such as rapid data growth, diverse applications, and a larger user base, all while having limited IT resources.

Dell EMC has introduced the IDPA DP4400, an integrated Data Protection Appliance, featuring a modern architecture that simplifies data protection for valuable enterprise data.

The DP4400 product offers a complete and consolidated data protection solution housed within the Dell EMC PowerEdge 14G 2U server. This solution is designed with pre-integrated data protection software and hardware, including notable features such as remote data synchronization, recovery, deduplication, instant access and recovery, search and analytics, as well as tight integration with the VMware platform. Additionally, the system can connect to cloud computing service providers, allowing for disaster recovery (DR) services and long-term data archiving. With its pre-integrated design, the DP4400 is easy to manage, deploy, upgrade, and expand in place from 24TB to 96TB, all through a simple software license without the need for additional drives, interruptions, or complexities.

The integrated DP4400 device is truly powerful in terms of performance and cloud readiness. It seamlessly operates within diverse application ecosystems, including traditional Oracle and Microsoft applications, and modern applications like MongoDB and SAP. It reduces backup times by 2x, decreases bandwidth consumption by 98%, and supports up to 7x backup streams. Notably, the DP4400 boasts an impressive deduplication ratio of up to 55:1. This means that logical data protection can reach nearly 5PB while being contained within the compact 2U space of the Dell EMC PowerEdge 14G server. For long-term retention on the cloud, this solution can protect data up to 14.4PB. The IDPA DP4400 also provides disaster resilience capabilities, high cost-effectiveness (in combination with Amazon AWS or Azure), and comprehensive functionality. It enables rapid failover in just "three notes" and seamless failback in just "two notes" without requiring any additional hardware investments.

The "Future-proof Loyalty Program" warranty program provides users with peace of mind through a 3-year Satisfaction Guarantee and a Data Protection Deduplication Guarantee of up to 55:1.
