It simplifies integration with older tape formats, ensuring seamless transitions while maintaining high performance.
- Streamlined Tape Management: Managing multiple tape devices, such as Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs) and traditional libraries, can create complex workflows. DPX resolves this with consistent support across systems, simplifying tape management and reducing IT overhead.
- Vendor Discontinuation: If your systems are no longer supported by their original vendors, Catalogic DPX minimizes troubleshooting and ensures efficient operation without reliance on external maintenance.
2. Robust Backup and Recovery Capabilities
Catalogic DPX delivers superior backup efficiency with patented block-level protection, cutting backup times and system impact by up to 90%. The vStor backup repository enhances data management with
- Inline deduplication and compression.
- Point-to-point replication for bandwidth optimization.
- Long-term archiving to tape for cost-effective storage.
These capabilities enable reliable and scalable protection for both physical and virtual servers.
3. Immutable and Secure Backups
Catalogic DPX enables immutable snapshots to protect your data against tampering and cyber threats. These snapshots can be securely stored as air-gapped copies on tape or in the cloud, providing:
- Protection against unauthorized access.
- Compliance alignment for data integrity.
- Additional offline safeguards for critical backups.
4. Cost-Effective NDMP Backups:
Catalogic DPX supports Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) backups to disk, tape, or cloud, optimizing network usage for efficient backup and recovery. Compatible with platforms such as NetApp and Isilon, it provides flexibility and avoids vendor-specific limitations.
Unmatched Compatibility with Tape Devices and Libraries
Catalogic DPX offers broad compatibility with industry-standard tape devices and media changers that follow the SCSI-2 standard. Supporting variable-length records and a minimum transfer size of 32 KB, DPX ensures seamless integration with leading tape media from HPE and IBM—including the latest LTO-9 technology. It is also fully qualified with top tape libraries from Dell Technologies, HPE, Oracle, Overland Tandberg, and Quantum, giving you the flexibility to use the tape backup hardware you already trust.
Simplified Tape Backup Management
Whether your infrastructure utilizes Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs) or traditional tape libraries, Catalogic DPX provides consistent, high-level support. Our approach simplifies the management of tape devices, focusing on minimizing troubleshooting and development for systems no longer supported by their vendors. This strategic support ensures your tape management processes are efficient and focused on your core business objectives.
Optimized Backup to Tape and Fast Recovery for Physical and Virtual Workloads
With patented block-level protection, Catalogic DPX reduces backup time and impact by up to 90% for both physical and virtual servers. Our vStor backup repository is a flexible and scalable software-defined backup target with robust tape archiving capabilities. vStor supports inline deduplication, compression, replication, and direct backup data offload to tape for long-term, cost-effective archiving and retention.
Immutable and Secure Backups
With Catalogic DPX, you can create immutable snapshots that are securely stored as offline, air‑gapped copies on tape or cloud object storage. These immutable backups ensure your archived data remains tamper‑proof and protected from ransomware or accidental deletion. By adding an extra layer of offline protection, DPX helps you meet your Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) with confidence.
