Which of the following is not a requirement for PowerProtect Data Manager deployment?

Question

Options

• ASufficient storage space
• BSpecific Operating System
• CExternal internet access
• DAppropriate network bandwidth

• A
  7% (4)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  90% (55)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

External internet access (C) is not a requirement because PowerProtect Data Manager is designed to operate entirely within a private, on-premises or air-gapped environment - it functions as a self-contained data protection platform without needing to reach out to the internet.

The distractors are incorrect because each represents a genuine prerequisite: sufficient storage space (A) is needed to host the virtual appliance and its data catalogs; a specific operating system (B) matters because PPDM is deployed as a VM on supported hypervisors with defined OS-level requirements; and appropriate network bandwidth (D) is critical since backup and recovery operations transfer large volumes of data between protected assets and storage targets.

Memory tip: Think "PPDM lives inside your datacenter" - it's an internal appliance, so it never needs to phone home. If a deployment requirement sounds like it belongs to a cloud SaaS product (internet connectivity), it's the odd one out for on-prem tools like PPDM.
