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 (that is connected via a license with a DR Series hardware appliance) to provide robust, disk-based data backup capability on Virtual Machine host servers, while taking advantage of replicating to a deduplication-enabled appliance.
Data Protection | DR Series of backup and deduplication appliances support all 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. 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
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 system is available in many drive capacities to fit SMB, enterprise, and remote office environments. The internal system drive capacity and available physical capacities of the DR Series system vary, depending on your system type and drives installed. 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 CLI
The DR Series system command line interface (CLI) provides the means for managing the status, data capacity, storage savings, and throughput of data containers.
