Data Domain, DDVE, New Cloud Replication Capabilities

Dell EMC is moving to more closely tie its Data Domain Data Protection Appliance to public clouds with new capabilities, including the ability to back up data from workloads in Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services clouds to Data Domain and to replicate data between on-premise Data Domain appliances and cloud-based DDVE, or Data Domain Virtual Edition. DDVE, which was released last year, currently runs in on-premise cloud environments, but is slated to also run on Azure and AWS clouds sometime during the second quarter. DDVE eventually will be able to run in any cloud environment, Dell EMC said.
