Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Dell AppSync software has great responsibilities in our regional mission to be a disaster recovery tool. We used 2 years to make daily backups and archive them to remote storages in a simplified and automated way without generating any type of failure and error. The interface is extremely user-friendly and easy to use and create, configure and generate reports on backups performed for auditing.

Pros

  • Perfect for our EMC VNXe2 environment.
  • Management of backups, production and restoration.
  • Protect from all our development systems.
  • Great Dell support with fast SLA.
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity.

Cons

  • We had no failures in performing backups and testing with disaster recovery.
  • Documentation not available in Portuguese.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dell AppSync maintains consistent and automated backups and in case of disaster recovery the software provides all the options of automatically generated daily copies to choose from. Integration can take place in different environments such as VMware, SQL, Oracle, Microsoft and others. Built-in management and compatibility makes work easier and lets you keep the always-on service up and running. We recommend Dell AppSync.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dell EMC AppSync in use accross the entire estate so a Dell solution seemed like the best solution to best provide the intergraion that we needed. Replication was required between our live and development systems. Main use case was for large database replication acrros dual data centers to maintain a live/live redudency

Pros

  • Easy Configuration
  • Ease of Use
  • Set and Forget

Cons

  • Cant make any storage changes directly
  • One to One and not One to many
  • No cloud replicaton support

Likelihood to Recommend

Main focus of the product is to replicate data with Dell EMC devices, and it does that well on a one to one basis, doesnt give options for a one to many backup that is required in some scenarios. Not aplicble if yu want to move any data into the cloud or if you have a mixed storage enviroment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our company, we use DELL EMC AppSync to simplify the processes of copying, replicating and restoring data. Users are able to independently manage applications and can restore data and databases according to their needs without the need for a technician to intervene. It is natively compatible with the main databases. Other databases are manageable at the file system level

Pros

  • Database protection
  • Database replication
  • Emergency restore

Cons

  • Cloud replication

Likelihood to Recommend

The best use scenario could be a development environment where there is a need to reuse the same databases for different applications. Developers can automatically manage the relocation of databases, or they can independently configure new data sources to protect or replicate
