Introduction
This document describes important product information and restrictions for the Dell DL1000 Appliance
running AppAssure and Rapid Recovery.
About DL1000 Dell Appliance
The DL1000 appliance is designed for a range of environments. The short 15.5–inches depth, low–power
draw, acoustics and fresh air cooling make the DL1000 ideal for space-constrained office environments.
The appliance is available in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 3 TB provisioned backup capacity (with an option for up to
two standby virtual machines).
Optimized for quick deployment and efficiency, the DL1000:
• Helps reduce your backup window.
• Creates snapshots as often as every 60 minutes.
• Cloud archive connector simplifies moving archives to a cloud storage subscription (supported
providers are Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, OpenStack and RackSpace) allowing you to replace tape
infrastructure.
• Maintains up to two standby VMs to quickly restore critical servers (with proper edition).
• Offers integrated, inline block-level deduplication and compression, combined with optimized
backups for WAN replication.
• Provides a wizard–based configuration utility to automatically provision DL1000 storage and iDRAC
Express for remote management.
About DL Appliance Software
The Dell DL Appliance software offers near-zero recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives.
More than disaster recovery, DL Appliance software offers data solutions for data migration and
management. You have the flexibility of performing bare-metal restore (to similar or dissimilar hardware),
and you can restore backups to physical or virtual machines, regardless of origin. The DL Appliance
software can also archive to the cloud, to a Dell DL series backup and recovery appliance, or to a
supported system of your choice. With the DL Appliance software, you can replicate to one or more
targets for added redundancy and security.
