As organizations continue to navigate increasingly complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments, the need for intelligent, automated, and integrated data resilience has never been greater. Data is no longer just an asset, it’s the foundation of business continuity, security, and innovation.
With our latest updates to Data Resiliency Service (DRS), we are taking a significant step forward in helping customers simplify operations, strengthen protection, and make smarter, faster decisions. These new capabilities enhance visibility, improve user experience, and introduce AI-driven intelligence across the data resiliency lifecycle.
Here’s what’s new.
Unified Protection with SCDM Integration
One of the most impactful enhancements is the integration of DRS with Storage Copy Data Management (SCDM) capabilities, bringing together protection and orchestration into a more unified experience.
This integration expands visibility across workloads, snapshots, and threats, giving customers a centralized understanding of their data environment. More importantly, it enables seamless navigation from DRS into CDM, where customers can automate the creation and orchestration of snapshots, clones, and replicas across their existing storage infrastructure.
By leveraging an application-aware data protection approach, organizations can:
The result is more efficient and reliable data management, powered through supported V1 APIs and tightly integrated workflows.
Improved Transparency with DRS Replication Awareness
Replication is a critical pillar of any resiliency strategy, but it can often be complex and difficult to manage at scale. With our latest DRS Replication Awareness enhancements, we are addressing this challenge head-on.
Built directly from customer feedback, these improvements deliver a more intuitive and transparent user experience for managing replication across storage systems.
By simplifying how replication is presented and managed, DRS enables teams to make more confident decisions and streamline their data protection strategies.
Smarter Operations with AI-Driven Enhancements
AI is now deeply embedded into DRS to bring intelligence, automation, and guidance into everyday workflows.
These new AI-driven capabilities introduce agentic flows that help align governance policies, service level agreements (SLAs), and business impact analysis (BIA), ensuring that data protection strategies are directly tied to business priorities.
Together, these capabilities empower customers to move from reactive management to proactive, insight-driven operations, improving both efficiency and strategic alignment.
Streamlined Identity Management with Defender SSO (SCIM Support)
Security and access control remain foundational to resilience. With Defender SSO support for SCIM, DRS now enables seamless identity lifecycle management.
Through an intuitive self-service interface, organizations can configure and manage identity providers, such as Azure AD, without relying on support teams.
This capability delivers:
By ensuring that the right users always have the right access, organizations can strengthen both security posture and compliance while improving operational efficiency.
Driving the Future of Data Resilience
With these latest innovations, DRS continues to evolve beyond traditional data protection into a comprehensive, intelligent resiliency platform.
DRS empowers organizations to confidently protect their data, quickly respond to threats, and recover with speed and precision.
Resilience is no longer optional, it’s a competitive advantage.
These new DRS capabilities are designed to help customers stay ahead of disruptions, reduce complexity, and align data protection with business outcomes. As data environments continue to grow in scale and sophistication, DRS ensures that resilience keeps pace.
