Dell's PowerProtect Cyber Recovery cyber-vaulting solution. Where it fitsRight now, at 12-96 TBu with the current replication limitations, the Data Manager Appliance is aimed squarely at the small to medium business market, with a side helping of remote office for some of the larger enterprises once the many to one configuration is supported. The road aheadFor the Data Manager Appliance to gain a share of the market, Dell needs to fill out the product line, make it scalable and iron out the reporting. Dell is continuing to provide updates and capabilities like immutability support through retention lock compliance and appliance audit logging, replication support to DD/DDVE and CyberRecovery Vault, along with the Scale-up to 256TB are on the horizon. January 2024 updateDell continues to provide updates and feature enhancements for the DM5500. Many of the initial concerns around replication and scalability have been resolved with subsequent code releases: The 5.14.0.0 (July 2023) release added support for Dell's Cyber Recovery Vault solution, DD Retention Lock for immutable storage and replication to PowerProtect DD Series virtual appliances.The 5.15.0.0 (November 2023) release added support for expanded capacity up to 256TB, PowerStore direct integration (PowerProtect Storage Direct), replication to physical DD Series appliances and standalone PowerProtect Data Manager Instances, as well as numerous code updates from the PowerProtect Data Manager software.With the addition of these features, the Data Manager Appliance becomes a much better fit for larger enterprise customers looking for an all-in-one appliance that can integrate with their existing PowerProtect Data Manager ecosystem and provides a comprehensive solution for medium-sized enterprises; especially those who have implemented or are planning on implementing a Dell CyberVault solution.Please consult the relevant release notes on Dell's website for the most up-to-date information.Learn more about WWT and Dell Data Protection Explore

History: A vBlock for backup? Not anymore.Dell's earliest releases in the converged backup appliance market were modeled on the VCE vBlock architecture: a factory integrated hardware, software and storage solution. The solution as delivered provided a pre-integrated platform with mature software and hardware. There were also, especially in the earlier versions, challenges around software upgrades and configuration management:The products that comprised the Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA) — Avamar, Data Domain and Data Protection Advisor — played extremely well together but the stack would require management at multiple layersThe DP4400 release fully virtualized the storage and application stacks allowing for a more seamless user and management experience. Although this was a major step forward for the platform, it was still evident that there were multiple products running underneath the solutionDell's latest data protection offering, the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance, introduces a new generation of backup appliance. Its foundations are apparent: a PowerProtect Data Manager (PPDM) software layer that is tightly integrated with a software-defined PowerProtect Data Domain (PPDD) storage layer. PPDM is a modern codebase which has been integrated with PowerProtect DD platform from its inception. The resulting PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance provides an integrated, simple to use and secure experience. Data Manager Appliance: What's in the box?The Data Manager Appliance runs on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 server which ships with up to 96TB usable storage, a flash tier and 10/25 GbE networking. Also included are a pair of 20 core Intel Cascade Lake CPU's and 384GB of RAM work with a hardware assisted compression card to drive performance, and licensed capacity scales from 12TB to 96TB usable (TBu) in 12 TB increments that fits into a 2RU hardware platform. InstallationOne of the things that we kept hearing prior to release was that the installation on this appliance was going
