Product Overview
The DXi6700 family of disk backup and replication appliances use
Quantum's data deduplication technology to expand the amount of
backup data users can retain on fast-recovery RAID systems by 10 to 50
times. The result is a cost-effective way for IT departments to store backup
data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable
restores, increasing available data recovery points, and reducing media
management.
For disaster recovery in distributed environments, the DXi6700 systems
make automated WAN replication practical by dramatically reducing the
bandwidth required to move backup data securely between sites.
DXi6700 solutions are integrated systems that are easy to install and use
with all leading backup applications. They provide best-in-class
performance with flexible, easy-to-use interface options including NAS,
OST, virtual library, or mixed presentations, as well as Ethernet and Fibre
Channel connectivity. DXi6700 appliances are part of a comprehensive set
of backup solutions, serviced and supported by Quantum, the leading
global specialist in backup, recovery, and archive.
