Datadobi Integration With Westcon FlexPod Solutions

Datadobi, Inc. has announced that its DobiProtect offering is part of Westcon’s ONESource FlexPod solutions.

The integrated technology offers support for any cloud strategy and improved operational efficiency to accelerate data center transformation and business evolution.

Built on technology from vendors including NetApp, Inc. and Cisco Systems, Inc., FlexPod simplifies and modernizes IT with continuous innovation, delivering application performance to customers.

The integration of DobiProtect into the Westcon FlexPod solution enables a reliable way to access most business-critical NAS and object storage data, on-premises or in the cloud, to mitigate disruptions resulting from cyberthreats, ransomware, accidental deletions, or software vulnerabilities.

Protecting business-critical data from ransomware, corruption, insider threats, and human error (for example, accidental deletion), DobiProtect allows organizations to create a golden copy of their business-critical file and object data in its native form across heterogeneous platforms. This copy enables companies to restore their unstructured data when serious disruptions occur and to maintain the highest standards of BC.

FlexPod is an architecture that enables users to reduce Capex and Opex through data center efficiencies, scale up or out to meet future needs, and accelerate cloud deployment while reducing risk. By optimizing multiple application workloads, VDI implementations, and secure multi-tenancy environments, organizations can compress application development and deployment timelines.

“FlexPod leverages best-in-class technologies to increase business agility while lowering deployment risks, accelerating application deployment, and reducing TCO by leveraging the efficiencies of a shared infrastructure,” commented Andy Millburn, regional director of APJ, Datadobi. “By integrating Datadobi technology into Westcon’s solutions, we are providing customers with the industry’s most powerful data protection capabilities to support any cloud strategy.“

“Westcon is excited to be bringing our partners an integrated solution like DobiProtect with FlexPod. This offer enables an immediate and reliable way for customers to access their most business-critical network-attached storage (NAS) and object storage data, on-premises or in the cloud, to mitigate disruptions if cyberthreats, ransomware, accidental deletions, or software vulnerabilities occur,” said Patrick Aronson, EVP, AsiaPac, Westcon-Comstor.

The Westcon FlexPod solution stack has been built to assist users in building a Zero Trust Workload environment. It provides a stable and secure end-to-end data center solution available to users anywhere they are working based on both traditional and cloud environments. The building blocks of the architecture include Cisco (compute, networking, and security stack), storage (block, file, and object storage), and Datadobi (unstructured data protection solutions).
