Dell PowerProtect Data Domain is widely trusted by enterprises for fast, reliable backup and recovery, serving as a foundational pillar in modern data centers. As cyber threats continue to evolve and data environments grow more complex, organizations are looking for ways to build upon this trusted infrastructure to achieve modernized cyber resilience without disrupting their existing operations or stranding their hardware investments.
Today, we are announcing a new integration between the Druva Data Security Cloud and Dell PowerProtect Data Domain.
By leveraging the industry-standard DD Boost API, this integration allows enterprises to combine the exceptional local recovery performance of Data Domain with the simplicity, visibility, and scale of Druva’s fully managed SaaS platform.
A "Better Together" Approach to Cyber Resilience
Organizations no longer have to choose between on-premises performance and cloud simplicity. With Druva and Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, customers benefit from:
Fast, Trusted Local Recovery: Leverage your existing Data Domain appliances to execute fast, local restores, ensuring you can meet aggressive Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) for your most critical workloads.
Operational Simplicity: The integration supports organizations seeking to write Druva backups to Data Domain targets across their data center and remote office environments.
Air-Gapped Cyber Resilience: Build naturally on Data Domain's robust capabilities by automatically storing an isolated, air-gapped, and immutable copy of your data in the Druva cloud.
Investment Protection: Maximize the ROI of your trusted Dell hardware with a modern, SaaS-delivered architecture.
Achieve a Modern Resilience Architecture with Dell Data Domain
As data environments expand and ransomware becomes increasingly sophisticated, modern cyber resilience requires evolving backup architectures to eliminate vulnerabilities. Rather than replacing the proven foundations of data protection, the integration between Druva and Dell PowerProtect Data Domain enables organizations to achieve an automated 3-2-1-1 resilience strategy, by enabling workloads protected by Druva to leverage Data Domain for a high-performance local copy and Druva’s cloud for a critical air-gapped copy.
This "better together" architecture leverages the strengths of both platforms to establish the core principles of modern data protection:
Preserve Trusted Local Performance: Druva uses the DD Boost protocol with Dell Power Protect Data Domain to provide a high-performance on-premises recovery. .
Maintain Administrative Separation: To protect against advanced threats, the Druva Security Cloud automatically maintains an air-gapped, immutable copy of your data governed by completely separate administrative credentials.
Unified Multi-Site Visibility: Monitor your Druva data protection policies and their corresponding Data Domain storage targets across multiple locations through a single, secure SaaS console without changing how you manage your core Data Domain infrastructure.
A Natural Extension of Your Trusted Ecosystem
Ultimately, cyber resilience is most effective when it builds directly upon the foundational infrastructure your organization already knows and relies on. Rather than forcing a disruptive "rip-and-replace" modernization project, this integration offers a powerful path forward.
It allows you to extend the proven protection Druva brings for hybrid workloads in the data center, enabling that data to be securely and efficiently stored in your trusted Dell PowerProtect Data Domain environments. This ensures you can secure critical data confidently and recover with absolute local assurance.
