Dell has just introduced an integrated disk-to-disk (D2D) based backup and recovery solution called the Dell PowerVault DL2000 that helps customers simplify data protection processes while slashing backup times by up to 52 percent and restore times by up to 77 percent compared to tape. An integrated hardware and software platform that can be set up in less than 30 minutes, the DL2000 automates and simplifies the setup and management of disk-to-disk backup allowing customers to optimize resources through a tiered storage strategy. The solution comes with a choice of CommVault or Symantec Backup Exec software pre-installed and verified. The turnkey solution is designed to provide automated storage setup and centralized management to ease all aspects of backup, recovery and de-duplication. Advanced add-on features, such as archive and replication capabilities, can be integrated seamlessly to scale and increase functionality as business demands dictate.
In April of this year IBM introduced a new form factor to address the key issues many IT Managers are dealing with when trying to scale out their compute infrastructure. The most critical issue that iDataplex helps alleviate is the high cost of electricity and cooling, especially when the datacenter needs to increase compute power and efficiency.
The IBM "iDataPlex" system leverages IBM's blade server heritage to build a completely new design that:
More than doubles the number of systems that can run in a single IBM rack,
Uses 40 percent less power while increasing the amount of computing that can be done 5X
Can be outfitted with a liquid cooled wall on the back of the system that enables it to run at "room temperature" -- no air conditioning required,
Uses all industry standard components as well as open source software such as Linux to help lower costs.
