HPE RDX: The Ultimate Backup Solution for Edge Environments
Secure, Reliable, and Sustainable Data Protection
Introducing HPE RDX
Reliable disk-based storage with unmatched portability, fast recovery, and easy system integration into a single server, branch office or edge environment.
Cloud
Enhance your cloud storage strategy by implementing best practices with a local backup copy. This ensures faster access to critical data whenever needed. With RDX, your data remains accessible and protected both on-premises and off-premises.
Performance
With HD data transfer speeds and built-in anti-vibration buffers, RDX is able to increase read/write speeds, lowering the time it takes for incremental or full backups.
Management
As your backup needs grow, you can easily and affordably expand your RDX backup by simply adding more cartridges—no new hardware required. RDX supports disk spanning so data can continue to grow across multiple cartridges.
Integration
Compatibility across various operating systems and virtualization platforms makes RDX simple to adapt into any small business environment. You can also use Fixed Disk mode for automated backups via the native Windows OS.
Security
Ransomware is an increasing threat but keeping a secure offline copy of your data is a great last line of defence. RDX will accept ISV backup software and software-based encryption, so your data is safe from any unauthorized access.
Advantages of HPE RDX in Edge Environments
1. Offline Solution with Airgap
HPE RDX provides an offline backup solution, creating an airgap that significantly enhances data security. This physical separation from the network protects against cyber threats, including ransomware attacks, which are a growing concern for businesses.
2. Performance and Reliability
HPE RDX offers fast data transfer rates, with the ability to back up and restore data at hard drive speeds. This can be crucial in edge environments where quick data recovery is essential.
The RDX cartridges are designed to withstand harsh conditions, making them ideal for remote or branch locations where environmental factors can be challenging.
3. Cost-Effectiveness
Unlike cloud solutions that often involve ongoing subscription fees and potential hidden costs, HPE RDX provides a one-time investment with minimal ongoing expenses. This can be particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized businesses operating in multiple locations.
4. Sustainability
HPE RDX systems consume less power compared to always-on cloud servers, contributing to lower energy usage and a smaller carbon footprint.
The long lifespan of RDX cartridges reduces the need for frequent replacements, further supporting sustainable practices.
5. Ease of Use and Management
RDX systems are easy to deploy and manage, requiring minimal IT expertise. This is advantageous for branches or edge environments with limited IT staff.
The removable nature of RDX cartridges allows for easy transportation and offsite storage, ensuring data can be securely stored and accessed when needed.
The RDX hardware is available in internal and external models.
