These updates double down on cyber resilience, intelligent automation, and flexibility, addressing the core concerns of IT professionals grappling with disruptive cyberattacks.
Dell is extending PowerProtect’s reach with key integrations. Now, PowerProtect seamlessly integrates with Dell NativeEdge, bringing robust data protection capabilities to the burgeoning world of edge computing. This allows businesses to secure data closer to its source, reducing latency and improving response times.
Furthermore, PowerProtect now supports Nutanix Hyper-Converged environments via Prism Central. This broadens its appeal, providing a unified data protection solution for organizations leveraging Nutanix’s popular HCI platform.
As AI-assisted cyberattacks become more prevalent, rapid threat detection and response are paramount. The updated PowerProtect features a new Anomaly Detection review page, empowering security teams to quickly identify and address suspicious activity.
This proactive approach helps organizations stay ahead of potential breaches, minimizing the impact of cyberattacks.
The recently launched PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance consolidates protection and management into a single system, reportedly slashing management overhead by 50%. This is a boon for organizations with limited IT resources, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives rather than day-to-day data protection tasks.
Cloud capacity also gets a significant boost. Updates to the Data Domain Operating System increase cloud capacity to 384TB on Azure, offering ample space for growing data volumes. Support for AWS M7i instances is also on the horizon.
Secure Recovery and Centralized Vault Management
Improvements to Cyber Recovery and CyberSense now enable secure recovery of HYCU backups, bolstering protection against ransomware and other data-erasing attacks. Centralized management of multiple vaults enhances both security and operational efficiency, simplifying the management of complex hybrid and cloud environments.
For those interested in Dell’s broader strategy, Dell aims for software-defined, efficient data centers, showcasing their vision for the future of IT infrastructure.
With these PowerProtect updates now generally available, Dell is positioning itself as a key player in helping organizations navigate the complex world of data protection. The company believes these advancements will not only safeguard data but also pave the way for a more secure and innovative future.
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, expect to see further innovations in data protection, with AI and cloud integration playing an increasingly vital role in keeping businesses safe and resilient.
