Federal agencies often have high data protection costs due to data sprawl, where data is stored across different applications and systems. Consolidating applications and streamlining compliance systems can help end data sprawl to improve data protection and reduce costs. One solution is Dell EMC's Integrated Data Protection Appliance, which combines storage, search, and analytics to more easily manage multiple data streams and has a high data deduplication rate to protect more data using less storage.

It also advises them on efficient, cost-effective data protection practices.
- 3. Taming Data Sprawl Reduces Cost of Federal Data Protection Data protection is a necessity, but it should not be costly. However, federal agencies usually have high data protection costs. The reason for this is data sprawl. These agencies typically have large, spread out data environments: terabytes of data stored in different applications. For example, they store data on Oracle or SQL Server databases, run these systems using Windows or Linux, and rely on physical and/or virtual servers. This diverse and complex mix makes backing up and recovering data complex, expensive, time-consuming, and challenging.
- 4. Taming Data Sprawl Reduces Cost of Federal Data Protection A better way for federal agencies to protect data is to end data sprawl, consolidate applications, and streamline compliance systems. This will improve overall data protection and backup, make it simpler to recover lost data, reduce associated costs, and make scaling easier.
- 5. Taming Data Sprawl Reduces Cost of Federal Data Protection A good solution to consider is Dell EMC’s Integrated Data Protection Appliance (IDPA). Highly efficient and easy to deploy, IDPA brings together data protection storage, search, and analytics to make managing multiple data streams easier. It also has a high data deduplication rate of 55:1, meaning it protects up to 55 times more data for every unit of physical storage required, and uses sophisticated algorithms to capture both unique and fixed data sets.
