Introducing the DR Series system

Introducing the DR Series system

The DR Series system is a high-performance, disk-based backup and recovery appliance that is simple to deploy and manage and offers unsurpassed Total Cost of Ownership benefits. Features such as innovative firmware and an all-inclusive licensing model ensure optimal functionality and provide the assurance of no hidden costs for valuable future features.

A purpose-built backup-to-disk appliance, the DR Series system provides advanced deduplication and compression technology to store data most efficiently. The DR Series hardware appliances are 2U, rack-based, system backup storage repositories, that include deduplication and compression technology in their operating systems. A virtual machine (VM) version is also available to provide robust, disk-based data backup capability on Virtual Machine host servers, while taking advantage of replicating to a deduplication-enabled appliance.

The Quest Data Protection | DR Series of backup and deduplication appliances support all of the major backup software applications in use today and can lower your backup storage costs to as little as $.16/GB while reducing your total cost of ownership. (For a complete list of supported backup software, see the DR Series System Interoperability Guide.) The purpose-built appliances achieve these results using patented Rapid technology as well as built-in, variable block-based deduplication and compression. The DR Series helps you to:

Other benefits include:

The DR Series system includes the following features:

The DR Series system is available in a variety of drive capacities and is ideal for SMB, enterprise, and remote office environments. For details about specific drive capacities and models available, see the DR Series System Interoperability Guide or the latest DR Series System Release Notes.

Understanding the DR Series system models

The DR Series system is currently available in the following models:

The DR Series system software is also supported on the following earlier models of the DR Series system.

The DR Series system consists of the following components:

Software — System software and firmware is pre-installed, which supports record linkage and context-based lossless data compression methods.
Hardware — The hardware supporting the DR Series systems is listed below:
Expansion shelf—The hardware system appliance supports the addition of external Dell PowerVault MD1200 (for DR4000, DR4100, DR6000 systems) and MD1400 (for DR4300e core and standard, DR4300, DR6300 systems) data storage expansion shelf enclosures. Adding an expansion shelf provides additional data storage for the DR Series system and also requires a license. Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal drive slot capacity (0–11). For more information, see the topic, “Expansion Unit Limits,” in the DR Series System Interoperability Guide and the related Expansion Shelf topics in this guide.

The internal system drive capacity and available physical capacities of the DR Series system vary, depending on the system type and the drives installed. For detailed information, see the DR Series System Interoperability Guide, which describes the internal system drive capacity and available physical capacity (in decimal and binary values). This guide also includes the available capacities per virtual machine operating system (OS) for the DR2000v.
