Support for Dell EMC Data Domain Boost

Boost Backup Efficiency with Dell Data Domain Integration

Install the BoostFS plugin to set the Data Domain Boost appliance as a backup storage and get the full range of benefits of source-side deduplication, including higher backup speed, decreased network load, and optimized use of storage. The solution supports Dell Data Domain 6.1–7.10.

One Solution for All Workloads

NAKIVO’s solution supports various storage types, including offsite, onsite and cloud. Manage all repositories, including EMC Data Domain. You can also add different storage types to a federated repository for better scalability and management.

The solution enables you to back up virtual, physical, cloud workloads, Microsoft 365 apps and services and NAS data to deduplication devices, all from a single pane of glass.

Low Storage Space Consumption

The Dell EMC Data Domain Boost technology allows for deduplication ratios of up to 17:1, so you can save a considerable amount of storage space. The process eliminates redundant and duplicate data during backup, sending only unique data to the backup repository.

Along with deduplication, NAKIVO’s solution supports native tracking technologies for VMware, Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV and Hyper-V and enables you to run incremental backups. This means only changed data blocks are moved to the backup storage, allowing you to speed up the backup process and minimize storage consumption.

Uninterrupted Business Operations

Because deduplication is performed on the source side, only unique and fully deduplicated data is sent over the network. Smaller backup sizes and source-side deduplication ensure up to 50% faster backup speed and significantly offload the network, in some cases by as much as 99%. This means a minimal impact of data protection workflows on your production, even during business hours.

For better control over the network load, you can configure bandwidth throttling and restrict network usage for certain hours or days.

Layered Security

Secure your backup data from ransomware and unauthorized access with immutability and encryption.

You can also configure role-based access control to the solution and grant full access to your data protection activities to a limited number of users.

Less Time on Administration

Admins can focus on more important tasks by automating routine data protection workflows. You can configure custom schedules in the Calendar dashboard, set automated workflow sequences or create policies to protect multiple machines simultaneously.
