Dell has unveiled Intelligent Data Management offerings that address three storage technology areas such as object storage, deduplication and unified storage.
The company said that the new offerings including comprehensive services and systems, share principles based on integrated design, automated data management and partnered ecosystem.
According to Dell, the DX Object Storage Solution, built on peer-scaling architecture using industry standards-based hardware and integrated software, is designed to access, store and distribute files or other digital content, from archiving to the cloud. It helps customers to identify and retrieve information by using metadata and disk storage in a nearline setting and automatically manage data from creation through deletion.
The company has also introduced new deduplication offerings including an expansion of its relationship with EMC.

The DD140, DD610 and DD630 are designed to improve data protection and recovery time while helping customers to achieve backup data reduction; employ cost-effective replication; and implement with ease via support for any backup and archive software.
The newly introduced NS Series for unified storage, NS-120, NS-480 and NS-960 allows customers to pay for only what they need by removing unnecessary costs associated with multiple storage systems, duplicate data and over-provisioning; meet the demanding service levels; and save time managing storage and increase storage efficiency in VMware environments, the company claims.
