The Dell 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 disk platform, 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 (that is combined with a DR Series hardware appliance) to provide robust, disk-based data backup capability on VMs, while taking advantage of a deduplication-enabled appliance.

Using Dell deduplication and compression algorithm technology, a DR Series system can achieve data reduction levels ranging from 10:1 to 15:1. This reduction in data results in less incremental storage needs and a smaller backup footprint. By taking advantage of deduplication and compression features and removing redundant data, the system:

The benefits of data deduplication can be extended across the enterprise—through the deduplicated replication functionality—to provide a complete backup solution for multi-site environments. The shorter Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and attainable Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) are also assured as critical backup data remains on disk and online longer. Capital and administrative costs are diminished at the same time as internal service level agreements (SLAs) are more easily met.

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 types available in the DR Series system, see the DR Series System Interoperability Guide or the latest DR Series System Release Notes.

The DR Series system consists of the following components:

Drive and Available Physical Capacities

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 details, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide, which describes the internal system drive capacity and available physical capacity (in decimal and binary values) in the hardware DR Series systems. It also includes the available capacities per virtual machine operating system (OS) for the DR2000v.
