Unified backups have protected hybrid workloads and now enable rapid recovery from ransomware
Dell Data Protection Suite is the most effective solution for my needs. The best features include comprehensive backup recovery across hybrid environments, supporting physical, virtual, and cloud workloads with tools that ensure fast, efficient restores across diverse environments. The flexibility in supporting physical, virtual, and cloud workloads has been a real advantage for us. We had a legacy physical database workload running on-premises alongside a newer cloud application in Azure. Traditionally, we would have needed separate tools to protect each environment, which would have meant extra overhead and complexity. Dell Data Protection Suite has positively impacted our organization by strengthening resilience, simplifying operations, and reducing downtime. Fast recovery is a key positive outcome, as RecoveryPoint for VMs allows us to restore critical workloads to a clean point in time with snapshots within minutes, minimizing downtime during incidents. The accuracy and reliability of the output from Dell Data Protection Suite's AI are generally high, especially concerning anomaly detection and compliance reporting.
