Automated workflows have simplified disaster recovery and improve data protection efficiency
For the time being, Dell Data Protection Suite is better because it supports Fiber Channel, 10G, 25G, and stable connectivity. it communicates better, it connects to Tape Drive on Fiber Channel in SAN . The limitation lies in the tape drive or the library have only FC connectivity. That is also better, and I think there are no more improvements needed. We are getting very prompt responses from customers who are satisfied. The additional feature I would like to see in the future to make better compression ratio because customers are mostly asking for compression. Compression depends on the data; if the data includes video, PDF, or images, it cannot be compressed much. Text and other data can be compressed very high with a high compression ratio.
