Set shorter backup and

recovery windows with a

Dell EMC Integrated Data
Protection Appliance solution
We measured backup completion times of a virtual machine environment for 14
simulated days (starting with 100 VMs on day one and adding 100 VMs each
day to 1,000 VMs on day 10). We completed this scenario on two solutions:

A Dell EMC™ Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA) DP8800 solution

A similarly sized solution from a key competitor we call “Vendor Z”

A Dell EMC IDPA solution allows you to set shorter backup windows
In this section, we use bar charts to represent the amount of time the solutions needed to perform backups. Because the total and average
times vary, we use two different scales in the two following bar charts.
