Quantum Storage DXi3500 Backup
& Replication Appliance
The DXi3500 is an easy-to-use data
deduplication appliance designed for smaller data centers, offering flexible
interface options, including NAS, VLT and mixed presentations, along with Fibre
Channel and iSCSI connectivity.
-
Scalable capacities from 1.2 to 4.2 TB
-
Reduces typical disk capacity needs by 90
percent or more through deduplication
-
Combination of data deduplication, replication,
and easy-to-deploy design
-
Decreases typical bandwidth needs for
replicating backup data by a factor of 20
-
VMready design with backup software for VMware
included
-
Integrates smoothly with all leading backup
applications in both NAS and VTL presentations
It starts with capacities from 1.2 to 4.2 TB,
but it leverages data deduplication to store up to 100 TB of backup data—all on
fast, reliable RAID storage with WAN-based replication for disaster recovery.
That makes DXi3500 the perfect solution for smaller sites that require reliable
backup protection. And since DXi3500 works with all leading backup software and
offers the industry’s widest range of interface options, it fits easily into
existing environments.
Plus, DXi3500 has a VMready design and backup software that is specifically
designed for VMware installations. So you get cost-effective protection even for
systems that include virtual servers.
The Quantum DXi3500 delivers:
- Advanced Data De-duplication
Increasing Disk Retention for Backup Data
The DXi3500 disk backup and replication appliance leverages Quantum’s patented
data de-duplication technology to dramatically increase the role that disk can
play in the protection of critical data. With the DXi3500 solution, users can
retain 10 to 50 times more backup data on fast recovery disk than with
conventional arrays.
- Remote Replication of Backup Data
Providing Automated Disaster Recovery Protection
With DXi3500 replication, users can transmit data from a single site or
multiple sites to a central location. DXi3500 replication is asynchronous,
automated, and it operates as a background process.
- Easy Installation and Use in
Existing Environments
The DXi3500 is an integrated appliance with an intuitive graphical user
interface and two presentation modes that make it easy to install, share, and
manage. A backup NAS interface allows users to attach a DXi3500 appliance to
any Ethernet network and share it easily between multiple media servers. For
larger, SAN environments, a virtual tape library interface (Fibre Channel or
iSCSI) gives users enterprise performance and lets them use standard tape
library presentations.
- Advantage Over Conventional Disk
Quantum’s DXi-Series are a cost-effective way for IT departments to store
backup data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable
restores and increasing both recovery points and your disaster recovery
options.

* Capacities and amount of data protected
assume standard business data mix and extended on-disk data retention. 20:1
capacity ratio assumes a weekly full and daily incremental backup model. 50:1

change rates, and backup methodologies. Smaller DXi-Series appliances can be
scaled in-chassis and on-site to specific larger units: DXi3500 1.2TB units
scales 2.8TB units; DXi3500 1.8TB units scale to 4.2TB units; DXi5500 3.6TB
