Quantum simplifies deduplication with new DXi-Series powered by StorNext 5

DXi6900 advances high-performance, scalable portfolio for modern data protection workflows.

  • 10 years ago Posted in

Quantum Corp. has announced an enriched and simplified DXi®-Series deduplication family, including a new DXi6900 appliance, to serve as the foundation for next-generation data protection. The DXi6900 is powered by Quantum’s DXi software with StorNext 5 technology at its core to optimise performance, scalability and manageability for enterprises and service providers. This latest DXi offering enables industry-leading scalability and faster backups, restores and replication while easing the strain on network bandwidth and reducing overall operating expenses. When combined with Quantum’s Q-Cloud™ Protect services, the new DXi-Series enables customers to build data protection workflows that extend across sites and to the cloud.


Addressing complex workflow demands
Quantum has a simplified disk backup portfolio based on three platforms – the DXi6900 for midrange to enterprise environments, the DXi4700 for SMB to midrange implementations which was introduced earlier this year, and the DXi V-Series for virtual environments. Designed to meet the increasing range of customers’ data protection workflow needs, the DXi6900 incorporates a number of key enhancements, including:
· StorNext 5 accelerates backup and restore times: Quantum’s StorNext 5 technology offers the industry’s fastest single stream performance and has been proven in some of the most data-intensive environments. At the core of the DXi software engine, StorNext 5 technology enables DXi6900 to deliver the deduplication performance required for evermore demanding and fluid backup and restore workflows.
· iLayer intelligence increases IT staff productivity: Unique iLayer™ software makes multi-site data protection easier, with simple setup configuration wizards, detailed resource utilisation reporting and an intuitive topology-based view of the environment. Proactive monitoring and reporting – including on mobile devices – enables improved business decision making to speed resolution time.
· Unique capacity-on-demand provides easy scalability: The DXi6900 continues Quantum’s commitment to capacity-on-demand licensing, enabling users to scale from
· 17 TB to 510 TB via a simple licensing key. This approach eliminates the uncertainty of predicting growth requirements, empowering users to add capacity quickly and non-disruptively when needed.
In addition to providing new capabilities with DXi6900, Quantum continues to offer advantages across the DXi-Series portfolio and in conjunction with the company’s cloud services:
· Maximise disk storage and reduce costs: Patented variable length deduplication, which provides up to 3x disk savings efficiencies versus fixed block approaches, dramatically reduces demands on network infrastructures to make multi-site disaster recovery solutions practical for more customers. Further, direct integration with Q-Cloud Protect enables the DXi-Series to provide the lowest OPEX while maximising efficiencies locally, in the cloud and across networks.
· Protect data across sites and in the cloud: Using physical or virtual on-premise DXi appliances, customers can replicate to Quantum’s Q-Cloud Protect data centre to deliver secure, offsite data protection for pennies per GB per month with chargeback capabilities.
· Military-grade security: Self-encrypting drives with military-grade AES-256 bit encryption provide security at rest and across the wire without degrading performance.
