Dell EMC and VMware leaders, along with industry experts, recently engaged in a live online Crowd Chat to discuss how Dell EMC and VMware are working together to deliver world-class data protection for VMware environments – on premises and in the cloud.  Specifically, they discussed how Dell EMC and VMware collaborate to:

  • Bring easiest to manage, most powerful and comprehensive data protection for VMware environments
  • Seamlessly extend VMware data protection to the Cloud
  • Deliver enterprise-level data protection to mid-size organizations with Dell EMC’s latest Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA) DP4400

Ruya Atac-Barrett, VP of Product Marketing for Dell EMC Data Protection, then provided an overview of how Dell EMC provides superior data protection for VMware environments. Specifically, she discussed how Dell EMC data protection is simpler – easier to deploy and manage – but at the same time, more powerful – more comprehensive and higher performing.

But, don’t take our word for it. Senior Validation Analyst at ESG, Vinny Choinski, can speak first hand as to how easy the IDPA DP4400 is to deploy:

In addition, using real customer data, Choinski confirmed that the IDPA can serve data protection environments for a fraction of a penny per month—making the IDPA DP4400 the lowest cost-to-protect.
