Dell PowerProtect DD Series Appliances – Product Review

Dell’s PowerProtect DD Series Appliances are used for backup, compliance and archiving/long-term retention use cases. PowerProtect DD is the next generation of the Data Domain portfolio of systems acquired by EMC in 2009; they were re-branded in September 2019 to fit in with Dell’s overarching data protection portfolio branding. As Data Domain brand, PowerProtect DD established the market for backup-to-disk systems. The result is a range of models and broad-spread deployments, including within remote offices, mid-sized organizations and large enterprises; on-premises and in the cloud.

PowerProtect DD’s key functionality is the use of software and general-purpose CPUs to deduplicate data inline during transfer to a disk storage target that is connected to the PowerProtect DD controller. Dell publishes deduplication rates up to 65x; results depend greatly on the data being deduplicated.

PowerProtect DD Series systems are offered as appliances, paired systems for global deduplication and as archiving systems in conjunction with Dell’s Cloud Tier feature. PowerProtect DD provides network-attached storage (NAS) access, and midrange and high-end models can be deployed in Virtual Tape Library (VTL) mode, which enables the PowerProtect DD device to function like a tape system.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
