Dell Software today announced the availability of two new backup appliances as well as new enhancements to its AppAssure backup, replication and disaster recovery software. Newly launched solutions include the Dell DL1000, an AppAssure-powered purpose-built backup appliance optimized for use by small- and medium-sized businesses, as well as managed service providers, and the Dell DR2000v, a software-based virtual deduplication appliance optimized for use in remote office and branch office (ROBO) settings.
In addition, the latest release of the company’s flagship AppAssure data protection software solution features a series of upgrades, including the addition of cloud access management and archive-to-cloud capabilities, as well as expanded virtual machine support.
“As a solutions provider, it’s important that we have the ability to align our technology offerings with the specific needs of each individual customer," said Ron Salazar, general manager of MR2 Solutions. "One-size-fits-all just doesn’t work, especially with backup. That’s why it’s paramount for us to partner with a backup vendor that offers our customers the choice and flexibility they need, and that’s exactly what we get from Dell Software. The addition of two new appliance offerings to Dell’s already robust portfolio of data protection products makes it that much easier for us to identify the right solutions for our customers based on their specific business challenges.”
The trio of releases is the latest in an ongoing series of product launches that further extend the depth and breadth of Dell Software’s growing portfolio of end-to-end data protection solutions. Dell’s data protection solutions are used globally by more than 83,000 customers.
