VCE CONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS WITH INTEGRATED DATA PROTECTION

The correct protection for any service level.

One size does not fit all Your business has tiers of applications and data. The protection needs of those application and data across a spectrum—starting with basic low cost daily backup, VCE Converged Solutions offer and ranging up to zero data loss with zero downtime. Along the spectrum, compliance a robust set of capabilities requirements must also be met. to support data protection VCE believes customers are best served with a family of products that deliver precisely requirements, with Backup/ the right level of protection for each business need. VCE further believes that customers Recovery, Replication, need a way to deploy and scale data protection in a manner that reduces overhead, Archive, Business Continuity, time, cost, and risk. To meet these needs, VCE developed the concept of integrated and Application Mobility for data protection. mission-critical environments. Integration Defined Solutions include: Legacy data protection “bolted-on” to a new consolidated infrastructure may • EMC Avamar work, but it is not optimum. A complete consolidated infrastructure includes truly integrated data protection. It starts with architecting a best practice solution that • EMC Data Domain is designed to scale. The data protection system is then fully assembled in the VCE • EMC RecoverPoint factory, into VCE cabinets.

• EMC VPLEX The data protection components are directly connected to the consolidated infrastructure network and the network is configured before they ever leave the factory. True integration also means customers receive support for the consolidated infrastructure AND the data protection with just single phone call support.

VCE™ Integrated Data Protection offers a flexible family of solutions to allow a choice of streamlined backup and recovery, data replication, business continuity, and workload mobility to deliver reliable, predictable, and cost-effective availability for VCE Consolidated Infrastructure platforms. In other words: The right level of data protection for each service-level need.
