Dell PowerScale Disaster Recovery is designed to simplify complex DR workflows for unstructured data and reduce the amount of manual effort your team needs.

Key ways it streamlines operations:

• Automated failover and failback: One-click failover for critical SMB and NFS workloads keeps applications available during an incident. When systems are restored, fully automated failback brings you back to normal operations without a lot of manual steps.
• Centralized monitoring: You get a single view to monitor DR health and status, so storage and DR management are not scattered across multiple tools.
• Real-time readiness checks: The software runs 30 automated validation tests to continuously verify configuration health and DR readiness, so you’re not relying on untested runbooks.
• Non-disruptive DR testing: You can run automated failover/failback simulations to confirm your plans work—without impacting production.

For IT teams, this means fewer manual tasks, less risk of human error, and a more predictable way to keep critical services online when something goes wrong.

PowerScale Disaster Recovery is built to handle enterprise-scale unstructured data while keeping recovery times practical for the business.

Performance and scale highlights:

• Accelerated data recovery: The solution is designed to recover petabytes of data in hours, not days, helping you restore operational stability much faster than traditional approaches.
• Reduced downtime costs: Faster recovery directly helps lower the financial impact of outages, which can reach thousands of dollars per minute in some environments.
• Seamless configuration sync: It automatically synchronizes quotas, shares, snapshots, and other cluster settings, so you don’t lose time manually rebuilding configurations during recovery.

For organizations in data-intensive sectors like finance, healthcare, and media, this combination of speed and automation helps reimagine how quickly you can get back to normal operations after a disruption.

PowerScale Disaster Recovery is designed to strengthen your cyber resilience strategy and help you recover cleanly from ransomware or other cyber incidents.

Key capabilities for ransomware-resilient recovery:

• Ransomware-resilient protection: Integrated threat detection mechanisms help identify and isolate corrupted data during failover, so ransomware does not spread into your recovery environment.
• Clean recovery points: The software focuses on ensuring you have clean, usable recovery paths, reducing the risk of reinfection when you bring systems back online.
• Alignment with NIST frameworks: It is designed to align with NIST cybersecurity frameworks and integrate into your existing IT and security stack, supporting a more consistent security posture.
• Enhanced observability: Centralized, unified monitoring gives your teams better visibility into DR and security status, helping them respond faster to issues.

By combining automation, real-time monitoring, and ransomware-aware recovery, PowerScale Disaster Recovery helps you rethink how you protect and restore unstructured data in the face of modern cyber threats.
