Dell showcases their latest PowerProtect DD Series appliances in Malaysia to keep data safe and sound
In today’s day and age where organisations are increasingly adopting a data-centric, cloud-first approach in order to remain competitive, it’s not a small exaggeration to say that data is the lifeblood of a company. No, this isn’t the equivalent of an IOU tacked to a Post-It note. We’re talking about data on a scale of millions of transactions a minute, more than what a mortal man would ever be able to crunch with a calculator and a pencil.

One example of an organisation that crunches amounts of data that large would be credit card companies as they have to sift through reams of transactions to approve credit card swipes across the globe in real time. To say nothing of having that data compromised, or worse, irretrievably damaged. That’s where Dell’s latest PowerProtect DD Series storage appliances come into the picture.
Originally unveiled at Dell Technologies World 2019 in the US, Dell’s new PowerProtect DD Series appliances made their official Malaysia debut at the Dell Technologies Forum in Kuala Lumpur. The new PowerProtect DD Series Appliances are made to make life easier while offering the same robust security and efficiency for data protection in multi-cloud workloads.
In Malaysia, Dell showcased three new PowerProtect DD Series Appliances: the Dell EMC PowerProtect DD6900, the PowerProtect DD9400, the PowerProtect DD9900 and the Dell EMC PowerProtect DD300 which are now available through Dell Technologies channel partners. Dell also announced upgrades and enhancements to their Dell EMC PowerProtect Cyber Recovery and PowerProtect software.
In general, Dell’s PowerProtectDD Series appliances offer up to 38% faster backups and 36% faster restores with the capability to instantly access and restore up to 60,000 IOPS for up to 64 virtual machines while offering up to 1.25PB of usable capacity in a single rack with hardware-assisted compression to improve logical capacity by up to 30% and up to 65x data reduction. These benefits also help offer power savings up to 35% which can beneficially impact any company’s bottom line.
Other benefits with the Dell PowerProtect DD series include exceptional scalability with up to 1.25PB of usable capacity with the ability to natively tier deduplicated data in order to deliver cost-effective, long-term retention. All this sounds sweet but customers especially benefit on account of a revamped and highly efficient PowerProtect DD Management center interface that lets you see the status of all appliances be it in the cloud or on-site in one pane which makes things a lot easier. Here’s a closer look at what everything new that Dell EMC has on offer…
Dell PowerProtect DD Series Cyber Recovery when things hit the fan
Any large repository of data and any organisation of sufficient size is subject to all manner of cyber attacks from the usual phishing attempts to full-on break-ins. Fortunately, Dell’s CyberProtect Cyber Recovery now supports workloads protected with their Dell EMC PowerProtect Software and which are stored on Dell EMC PowerProtect DD Series appliances., thus ensuring resiliency of high-value data and mission-critical operations.
Dell Protect Cyber Recovery also upgrades in the form of automated restoration from a secure and isolated vault so that there is a pristine backup isolated from the rest of the network in the event of data loss.
Dell PowerProtect Software additional upgrades
Dell is also offering enhancements to their Dell EMC PowerProtect Software which they showcased at Dell Technologies Forum 2019. This time around, PowerProtect Software has more integration with VMware, vSphere as well as support for Dell EMC Cloud DIsaster Recovery, allowing automated disaster recovery operations of VMware workloads in the public cloud.
