Backup and Recovery on Dell PowerFlex with Nutanix Cloud Platform

This white paper presents a solution integrating HYCU's agentless, application-aware backup and recovery capabilities with Dell PowerFlex and the Nutanix Cloud Platform. It outlines how this integration supports Microsoft SQL Server, ensuring application consistency and minimizing downtime. The document details the architecture that leverages Nutanix's native snapshot technology alongside Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, facilitating seamless, scalable, and policy-driven data protection solutions. The solution is designed to meet stringent Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements, addressing the growing demand for efficient data protection as data volumes increase. It also describes the flexibility offered by the solution, allowing recovery to the same or different instances, which is particularly beneficial for test/dev or disaster recovery scenarios. The architecture aims to reduce complexity and enhance business continuity through automation and centralized management, making it suitable for organizations looking to modernize their data protection strategies without sacrificing performance or scalability.
