D2D2T Data Protection Solutions

Making data protection a top priority for your business drives the need for a new standard for comprehensive data protection: disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T). Combining the best features of both disk-based and tape-based storage, HP offers the broadest range of D2D2T data protection solutions in the industry, providing affordable, reliable and easy-to-use solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Why is D2D2T the optimal data protection solution?

D2D2T leverages the best features of both disk and tape storage to create a cost-effective, comprehensive data protection solution. Disk storage is used to automate and optimize daily backups, while providing instant access to data for fast restores. More mature data is copied to tape storage to provide offsite disaster recovery protection, meeting the needs of various regulatory policies for long-term data retention. A D2D2T data protection solution helps you:
  • Consolidate data protection storage to simplify day-to-day management of backup and disaster recovery requirements
  • Improve business continuity by providing fast access to data to keep business functions operating efficiently
  • Optimize backup reliability by providing fully automated, high-performance solutions that minimize the chance of human error
  • Reduce both capital and operating expenditures associated with data protection by utilizing the best storage solutions for both short-term and long-term data protection needs
