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.

* 
NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, later references in this guide to "the system" or "DR Series system" are used interchangeably to represent the DR Series system.

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:

•
Reduce your backup storage footprint
•
Speed up recovery
•
Reduce or eliminate the need for physical tapes for backup
•
Optimize network bandwidth by lowering the amount of data sent to disaster recovery sites

Other benefits include:

•
Supports major backup applications for easy deployment.
•
Lowers backup storage costs to as little as $.16/GB using deduplication and compression.
•
Speeds data ingest by up to 29TB/hr with built-in protocol accelerators.
•
Decreases TCO with all-inclusive licensing that includes replication, encryption, protocol accelerators and all future feature releases.
•
Enhances data protection with built-in software safeguards (early write verify and continuous data protection).
•
Provides best-in-class hardware features (NVRAM, data integrity scans, RAID6 storage, hot spares).
•
Contains built-in AES 256-bit encryption for data in motion or at rest.
•
Allows backup to VTL libraries using iSCSI, NDMP, FC protocols.
•
Incorporates 13th generation of Dell PowerEdge servers (DR4300e, DR4300 and DR6300).
•
Offers in-place capacity expansion (DR4300e).
•
Delivers the highest density deduplication target appliances on the market today.

The DR Series system includes the following features:

•
Advanced data protection and disaster recover
•
Two management interfaces: a command line interface (CLI) or a system graphical user interface (GUI) for the system software to manage storage containers.
•
Support for a wide variety of data backup installations and environments.
•
A simple installation process that provides full, intuitive remote setup and management capabilities.

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.

* 
NOTE: DR Series system hardware also supports the use of external data storage expansion shelves (also known as expansion enclosures). An added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal drive slot capacity (0–11). For more information about expansion enclosures, see the topic, “Expansion Unit Limits,” in the DR Series System Interoperability Guide and the related Expansion Shelf topics in this guide.

Understanding the DR Series system models

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

•
DR2000v—a virtual appliance, based on a Virtual Machine (VM) template for ESX and Hyper-V.
•
DR4300e core—consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell PowerEdge R730xd appliance platform with no WAM2 card installed.
•
DR4300e standard—consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell PowerEdge R730xd appliance platform.
•
DR4300—consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell PowerEdge R730xd appliance platform and offers a higher base capacity than the DR4300e.
•
DR6300—consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell R730xd appliance platform and offers a higher base capacity than the DR4300.

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

•
DR4000—consists of pre-installed DR Series system software on a Dell PowerEdge R510 appliance platform.
•
DR4100—consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a Dell PowerEdge R720xd appliance platform.
•
DR6000—consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a Dell PowerEdge R720xd appliance platform and offers a higher level of base system hardware.

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.
* 
NOTE: The DR2000v system offers a VM template in various capacities for ESX and HyperV that can be deployed on your existing VM infrastructure.
•
Hardware — The hardware supporting the DR Series systems is listed below:
◦
DR4000 system: Includes twelve 3.5–inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and two cabled 2.5-inch SAS drives for the operating system. The operating system is installed on two 2.5–inch internal drives that are in a RAID 1 configuration in the DR4000 system.
◦
DR4100 system: Includes twelve 3.5–inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear.
◦
DR6000 system: Includes twelve 3.5–inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear.
◦
DR4300e core system: Includes twelve 3.5–inch SAS or Nearline SAS chassis drives that are hot-swappable, two power supplies for power redundancy, and includes two 2.5-inch drives that are hot-pluggable in the rear.
◦

* 
NOTE: For the DR4000, DR4100 and DR6000 systems, there is a global hot spare for both OS and data drives. For the DR4300e core and standard, DR4300 and DR6300 systems, there is a dedicated hot spare for data drives only (and not for OS drives).
* 
NOTE: For slot locations for the twelve 3.5–inch drives in the hardware appliance-based DR Series system types, see the topic, “DR Series System and Data Operations.”
•
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.
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 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.
