Microsoft Data Protection Manager (DPM)
The PS Series family delivers a scalable storage platform that enhances DPM backup services with disaster recovery (DR) capabilities for end-to-end data protection.
Because of its scalability, integration with Microsoft Windows storage management features and built-in disaster recovery capabilities, the PS Series family of storage arrays is an ideal storage platform for DPM. EqualLogic has worked closely with Microsoft to ensure full integration of the PS Series 300E and Data Protection Manager 2006 within Windows environments. The PS Series provides a seamlessly scalable SAN for DPM backup services while ensuring full DR capability with its built-in auto-replication to a remote site.
"With EqualLogic's PS Series SAN platform, we have improved our data centre infrastructure by centralizing storage, gained management efficiencies with boot-from-SAN servers, and are able to add another layer of protection via snapshots and replication. With DPM we have extended the reach of our backup processes, eliminated tape and enabled instant data recovery, while replication of the central SAN to a remote site for disaster recovery completes our end-to-end data protection."
