Dell Data Domain

Introduction

Dell EMC Data Domain deduplication storage systems continue to revolutionize disk backup, archiving, and disaster recovery with high-speed, inline deduplication. This innovation continues with Dell EMC’s new generation of midsized and large enterprise Data Domain systems powered with a Flash SSD. By consolidating backup and archive data on a Data Domain system, you can reduce storage requirements by up to 55x, making disk cost-effective for onsite retention and highly efficient for network-based replication to disaster recovery sites.

EMC Data Domain Operating System is intelligence behind EMC Data Domain deduplication storage systems. DD OS powers the industry’s most efficient, scalable, reliable, cloud-ready protection storage platform.

Integration Version History


Application Version	Bug fixes / Enhancements
2.2.0	Refactored alert/event polling in app configuration UI to improve usability.
2.1.0	This implementation introduces third-party CI alert mapping and OpsQL-based enhancements. Configure alert mappings to target CI systems through the application configuration. After configuration, the system automatically forwards alerts to the corresponding third-party platforms and maps them to the specified CIs, ensuring consistent integration and efficient alert management. Previously, resource filters in the app configuration required manual entry of resource core and custom attributes. With this enhancement, the configuration is moved to OpsQL-based filtering, where users can see the keys auto-populated as needed.
2.0.3	Fix provided to set the valid Ip address to resource IP Address
2.0.2	Support given to Get Target Response Execute Command. Enhancements related to Get Latest Metric Values and Activitylogs.
2.0.1	Added support for metric label and Display order changes
2.0.0	Initial SDK2.0 application Discovery and Monitoring Implementations
