    Overview

    DD Boost software delivers an advanced level of integration with backup applications and data base utilities, enhancing performance and ease of use. Dell also provides a DD Boost File System Plug-In (BoostFS) with DD Boost for even greater application support, which enables all the benefits of DD Boost for applications that use NFS for data protection. Rather than sending all data to the system for deduplication processes, DD Boost enables the backup server or application client to send only unique data segments across the network to the system.

    The appliance supports a wide range of applications, databases, and operating systems, ensuring comprehensive protection for both physical and virtual environments. It also provides seamless integration with cloud storage, enabling organizations to leverage the benefits of hybrid cloud backup. 

    With its robust security features and built-in resiliency, the Veritas NetBackup Appliance ensures the integrity and availability of critical data, making it an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes.
