PowerProtect DD appliances allow direct data writing from backup clients, which improves efficiency
and data transfer rates, leveraging DD Boost and other protocols for optimized backup performance
without intermediate processing. In a PowerProtect DD backup infrastructure, backup clients are
designed to write data directly to the appliance. This direct write capability is supported by protocols
like DD Boost, which enhances the backup performance by offloading deduplication to the client
side, reducing network bandwidth usage and speeding up backups. PowerProtect DD systems are
optimized to handle direct data ingestion from backup clients, streamlining the data protection
process without requiring intermediate storage or decompression steps. This feature simplifies the
backup architecture and improves data protection efficiency.
