 ULTRA-SAFE STORAGE FOR RELIABLE RECOVERY
The EMC Data Domain Data Invulnerability Architecture provides the industry’s best defense
against data integrity issues. Inline write and read verification protects against, and
automatically recovers from, data integrity issues during data ingest and retrieval. Capturing
and correcting I/O errors inline during the backup process eliminates the need to repeat
backup jobs, ensuring backups complete on time and satisfy service-level agreements.
Unlike other enterprise arrays or file systems, continuous fault detection and self-healing
features protect data throughout its lifecycle on all Data Domain systems.
Remote Office Data Protection for Distributed Enterprise

MULTISITE DISASTER RECOVERY

Remote Offices
Replication capabilities are included as part of the core feature set of the DD160. With
DD Replicator software, you can send remote office data offsite over existing networks, for
centralized management or for disaster recovery. Multiple, geographically distributed offices
Central Site can simultaneously send selected backup and archive data to a central location enabling a
flexible, enterprise-wide site recovery and retention model. Cross-site deduplication further

system status. This non-intrusive alerting and data collection capability enables proactive
support and service without administrator intervention, further simplifying ongoing
management.

ENCRYPTION AND SECURE DATA RETENTION FOR

BUSINESS-CRITICAL DATA
The proliferation of publicized data loss, coupled with new governance and compliance
regulations, is driving the need for customers to encrypt their data-at-rest. The EMC Data
Domain Encryption software option provides organizations with enhanced security for data
that resides on their Data Domain systems using industry-standard RSA® BSAFE FIPS 140-2
validated cryptographic libraries. Centralized encryption key lifecycle management is
optionally available with the RSA Data Protection Manager to deliver a robust, encryption key
lifecycle management solution for the entire enterprise.

As aged data is archived, IT organizations can use the EMC Data Domain Retention Lock
software option to meet the secure data retention and immutability requirements for their
archive data. DD Retention Lock Governance edition helps administrators meet corporate
governance policies for data retention by allowing adjustment of retention parameters to
support changing business policies. For the most demanding restrictions from regulatory
standards for data integrity and retention, DD Retention Lock Compliance edition provides
SEC17a-4f compliance and ensures that all file and email archive data in a locked state
cannot be deleted or overwritten under any circumstances.
