CONCLUSION
WorkingwithCommVault,Dellhascreatedanintegratedstoragesolutionwith
replicationcapabilitiesthatenablebettermanagementfordatafromremoteand
branchofficesites.Centralizingthisdataformanagementenablesbackup
systemsanddevicestoberetiredfrombranchenvironments,alongwith
maintenancecontractsandtaperotationservices,forimmediate
dramaticcost
savings.Productivityisraisedinthebranch,becausebackupoperationsareno
longerperformedlocally;neitherlocalpersonnelnorsystemsaredistractednor
impactedduringbackup.Humanerrorisreducedbecausedatacenterteamsare
bettertrainedandmanagedthroughbackupandrecovery.Dataisbetter
protected,morequickly
andreliably,andwithusuallywithmorecost‐effective
optionsforimmediateandlong‐termdatapreservation.Policiesfordata
managementcanbemoreconsistentlyapplied,animportantconsiderationfor
corporateoversightandgovernancealongwithlegalrequirementsintheeventof
discoveryactions.

Whatmakestheseadvantagespossibleis
thesimplicityandflexibilityoftheDell
PowerVaultDL2000–PoweredbyCommVaultSimpanareplicationsoftware.
Offeringastoragedeviceasasinglepointofreplicationtodropintoaremotesite
dramaticallysimplifiesthesolution.Dellalsoofferstheflexibilityofdeployingjust
theCommVaultSimpanareplicationagent,forsmaller
environmentsor
environmentsinwhichanewstoragedeviceisnotdesirable.TheDellPowerVault
DL2000isalsoscalabletoserveasthecentralizationpointformany‐to‐onefan‐in
ofreplicationstreamscomingfromremotesitesandsystems.Dellalsopreserves
CommVaultSimpana’scapabilitytoworkwithvirtually
anydisksystem,for
maximumflexibilityandtopreservetheinvestmentinexistingstoragesystems.
