ROUND
ROCK, Texas, April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell Technologies (NYSE:
DELL) is expanding its data protection portfolio of appliances,
software and as-a-Service offerings to help customers strengthen
cyber resiliency in the face of increasing cyberattacks.
With advances across the Dell Data Protection portfolio, Dell is
helping customers build a modern and resilient foundation to
protect data on-premises, in public clouds and at the edge. These
innovations help address concerns raised in the 2024 Dell Global
Data Protection Index (GDPI) survey, which revealed that 75% of
organizations believe their existing data protection measures are
unable to cope with ransomware threats. Nearly 70% lacked
confidence that they could reliably recover from a cyberattack.
"With the exponential growth of data, generative AI (GenAI)
presents organizations with opportunities to streamline processes,
improve decision-making and drive innovation, but it also extends
the attack surface for cyberattacks – especially with trained
models, which are quickly becoming one of the most valuable assets
for enterprises," said Arthur Lewis,
president, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies. "With
this expanding digital landscape that exposes more vulnerability
gaps, companies are increasing their reliance on Dell to help
protect their data wherever it resides with trusted data protection
and AI offerings."
New Dell PowerProtect Appliances Increase Security,
Performance and Efficiency
Dell's new Dell PowerProtect Data
Domain DD9410 and DD9910 systems designed for large enterprises to
offer increased:
- Performance for traditional and modern workloads, providing
customers with up to 38% faster backups,1 and up to 44%
faster restores1
- Security and cyber resilience for customer data
- Efficiency, with up to 11% less power consumed 2
and industry-leading 65x
deduplication3
- Scalability with up to 1.5 PBs of usable capacity in a
single appliance
"With increasing cyber threats putting organizations on constant
high alert, the demand for trusted high performance data protection
systems has never been greater," said Phil
Goodwin, research vice president, IDC. "Dell's portfolio of
data protection solutions support numerous data protection best
practices to help organizations modernize their data protection
environment. With major performance enhancements in backup and
restore, we expect the latest PowerProtect Data Domain appliances
to remain a key element of critical data protection and cyber
recovery infrastructure."
"We have been relying on PowerProtect Data Domain appliances to
keep our data secure for over a decade and a half now," said
Rich Jackson, data protection
architect, State of Michigan. "We
have no doubts that the latest generation of appliances will
continue to increase protection performance and the security of our
data."
Dell PowerProtect Data Domain systems are also at the center of
a broad partner ecosystem, helping leading data protection software
vendors grow their business while strengthening resiliency for
their customers.
"Dell and Commvault have a shared belief that a strong
foundation for resilience is absolutely required in the face of
AI-driven cyber threats," said Sanjay
Mirchandani, president and CEO, Commvault. "Together, we are
delivering industry-leading cybersecurity, performance, and
efficiency to our joint customers. With a deep API integration
between the Commvault Cloud platform and Dell's latest PowerProtect
Data Domain appliances, we can leverage the full strength of our
combined cyber resilience, data security and rapid recovery
capabilities to empower organizations to effectively mitigate risks
and ensure uninterrupted business continuity."

Assistant
With the introduction of Dell APEX Backup Services
AI, an integrated GenAI assistant for backup and recovery,
customers can streamline protection processes. Dell APEX Backup
Services AI helps address the growing demand for GenAI data
protection, as evidenced by 52% of GDPI survey respondents who
believe GenAI will provide an advantage to their organization's
cyber security posture.
