Quantum Storage DXi7500 Enterprise Backup & Replication Appliance

For corporate data centers and those deploying a larger scale multisite protection strategy

Protects from 22TB to 220TB

Designed for larger midrange data centers and consolidated backup environments, the DXi7500 Enterprise offers the industry’s widest range of advanced deduplication features including choice of deduplication and replication strategies maximizing performance and value.

• 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, including Symantec NetBackup and Backup Exec 2010, under the Symantec OpenStorage (OST) API

Whether you’re running a corporate data center or anchoring a multisite protection strategy, DXi7500 Enterprise is clearly a step above the competition. Quantum’s patented deduplication technology cuts costs by reducing disk needs by 90 percent or more and replaces removable media with WAN-based replication for disaster recovery. And you can scale systems easily as data grows, choose when and how to deduplicate, and integrate disk with tape for an optimal mix of short-term protection and cost-effective long-term retention.

With the VMready design of DXi7500 Enterprise, you can back up both virtual and physical servers. Plus, support for OST gives you consolidated protection across multiple sites and technologies with centralized, streamlined management through NetBackup and Backup Exec 2010.

Advanced Data De-duplication Increasing Disk Retention for Backup Data

The DXi7500 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 DXi7500 solution, users can reduce disk requirements by 90% or more and make WAN-based replication a practical DR tool allowing IT departments to cost-effectively retain months of backup data on disk for faster, more reliable restores and more data recovery points.

Remote Replication of Backup Data Providing Automated Disaster Recovery Protection

With the benefits of de-duplication, DXi7500 users can transmit backup data from a single or multiple remote sites equipped with any other DXi-Series model to a central, secure location to reduce or eliminate media handling. DXi–Series replication is asynchronous, automated, encrypted and it operates as a background process.

Enterprise Features Provide Secure, Centralized Repository

Up to 240TB native capacity, 8TB/hour performance with active-active architecture to eliminate all single points of failure. Quantum’s policy-based de-duplication gives users the option to choose different de-duplication approaches for different datasets, providing optimal value for the widest range of data protection environments. Presentations include both VTL (Fibre Channel and iSCSI) and NAS (CIFS and NFS). Integrated tape creation writes physical media directly over dedicated Fibre Channel connections, and supports ISV direct tape creation, including Symantec’s NetBackup 6.5 “Direct to Tape” option.

Redundancy built in to all DXi7500 units

• Dual RAID controllers with active-active failover
• Switch port & cabling failover
• Dual redundant AC and DC power
• Dual redundant cooling
• Hot replaceable components

Dual-node units eliminate all single points of failure

• Dual DXi controllers provide full redundancy
• Active-active failover for all hardware

Quantum’s DXI-Series disk backup solutions leverage data deduplication technology to reduce disk requirements by 90% or more and make WAN-based replication a practical DR tool. All models are connected by a common technology base, replication capability, and management layer. This allows IT departments to connect all their sites in a comprehensive data protection strategy that boosts backup performance, and reduces or eliminates media handling.  Replication includes file-by-file and cartridge-by-cartridge support, encryption during transmission, automated target availability, scripting support for flexible automation, and application aware operation.

Backup replication means automated DR and reduced media management

Replication with de-duplication sends only new blocks—reduces bandwidth requirements by 90% or more

• Provides automated, encrypted asynchronous background process
• Intuitive GUI-based set-up & management
• De-duplicates data across multiple sites—before data is sent!
• Bi-directional protection— units can be both source and target
• Replication target can also provide local backup
