D-PDD-DY-01: Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Deploy

By Dell · Question Mode

QuestionQ3

Pre-Deployment Check

A customer uses a backup application to back up data to a Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliance. In their environment, they require:

  • Dedicated SAN traffic
  • No backup traffic on the production IP network

Which connectivity option should the implementation engineer configure?

Explanation

DD Boost over Fibre Channel (FC) enables the backup application to send data to the Data Domain system over a dedicated Fibre Channel SAN, keeping backup traffic completely separate from the IP-based production network. NFS and CIFS require an Ethernet/IP connection, and VTL is typically implemented over Ethernet (iSCSI) in this context, so none of those options meet the requirement of isolating backup traffic from the production IP network via a dedicated SAN.
