App Environment

The App Environment page allows you enable and disable Cloud Sharing, Increased Stream Count (ISC), DAE or Veeam on the DXi4800.

To access the App Environment page, on the System page, click the App Environment tab.

Note: DAE, VDMS, and ISC cannot be used concurrently. If Cloud Share is enabled, VDMS can be used concurrently.

Cloud Share Settings

The Cloud Share feature allows you to dedicate system memory resources for cloud sharing between the DXi4800 and a selected S3 cloud storage provider.

Increased Stream Count (ISC)

Increased Stream Count is a feature available for DXi4800 that increases the following as applicable to your system:

Feature ISC Not Enabled ISC Enabled
Maximum Allowed Replication Sources 10:1 30:1
Maximum Allowed Tape Drives 150 150
Maximum Allowed Loaded Tape Drives 32 150

Note: Enabling ISC on your DXi4800 requires Software version 4.1 or later, a minimum of 96 GB of memory and a system reboot.

Dynamic Application Environment (DAE)

DAE, technically known as a Hypervisor, provides a virtual machine environment in which you can install additional operating systems for running third-party applications you provide on your supported system. Once licensed and configured, the DAE feature on the DXi4800 allows applications installed in the VM to run in a completely independent environment, and can also access system resources and shares.

Apache Guacamole, also enabled from the DAE section of the App Environment page, provides a web-based (HTML5) method for accessing a virtual machine (VM).

Veeam Data Mover Server (VDMS)

The VDMS feature on DXi4800 allows the system to perform backup and replication with VDMS software on VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual environments.
