This document describes IDPA and explains how to perform the initial software
configuration after the appliance hardware is set up.
It also describes a number of procedures like performing backups, restores, and
generating reports that you can use to get the IDPA appliance up and running in a
relatively short time.
The target audience for this document includes field personnel, partners, and
customers responsible for managing and operating IDPA.
IDPA provides a simplified configuration and integration of data protection
components in a consolidated solution.
Integrated solution
IDPA DP4400 model is a hyperconverged, 2U system that a user can install and
configure onsite.
The DP4400 includes an Avamar server as a Backup Server node with optional NDMP
Accelerators, a Data Domain system as the Protection Storage node, Cloud Disaster
Recovery, IDPA System Manager as a centralized system management , an Appliance
Configuration Manager(ACM) for simplified configuration and upgrades, Search,
Reporting and Analytics, and a compute node that hosts the virtual components and
the software.
The Search, Reporting and Analytics, and CDRA are optional. Additionally, you can
also perform the Search, Reporting and Analytics, and CDRA functions in a central
corporate implementation.
If your organization enables communication through the Internet, as part of the initial
configuration of the system, you can register the IDPA Appliance, Avamar, Data
Domain and Reporting and Analytics components with Secure Remote Services
(formerly ESRS). The Secure Remote Services is a secure, IP-based, distributed
customer service support system that provides Dell EMC customers with command,
control, and visibility of support-related activities.
