Dell EMC Data Domain Boost software distributes parts of the deduplication process to the backup server(s) or application client(s), leaving the Data Domain system, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors, to focus its energy on determining what is unique and writing the new data to disk. With DD Boost, only the unique data has to travel from the backup server or client to the Data Domain system. DD Boost also gives the backup application control over replication

A security role user, who may be referred to as a security officer, can manage other security officers, authorize procedures that require security officer approval, and perform all tasks supported for user-role users.

DD series can simultaneously support multiple access methods including NFS and/or CIFS, VTL, NDMP and DD Boost™ all applications and utilities can be supported in the same DD series at the same time to enable greater protection storage consolidation. A system can present itself as a file server, offering NFS, CIFS access over Ethernet; as a virtual tape library (VTL) over Fibre Channel.
