Quantum DPM5500 User's Guide
the performance, reliability, availability, and return-on-investment of the
backup, recovery and archive process, based upon the business value of
customers' data over time. As the next major progression in delivering on
its tiered data protection strategy, Quantum's DPM5500 is an integrated
disk solution based upon Microsoft® System Center Data Protection
Manager 2006 (DPM). This new solution will provide Quantum's
Windows Server™ customers a more granular choice in data protection
options.
Quantum's DPM5500 combines carefully selected components to deliver
a fully integrated, high performance appliance ideal for disk-based
1
backup in Windows environments. This appliance gives the system
administrator an easy and efficient way to ensure that data in his
environment is protected against any number of potential threats. Most
importantly, the administrator can choose to apply this technology at
multiple points throughout the day. Contrast this with normal client/
server backup methodology. Rather than a nightly backup, backup data
is captured as many as 68 times in a single day. This gives the
administrator tremendous flexibility in providing outstanding service to
internal customers. Rather than having to lose all work completed on a
file between the time of data loss and the last nightly backup, the
restoration of data can be performed from the last DPM backup captured
which may never be more than fifty-nine minutes before the data loss
occurred.
Choosing system components, especially in networking environments,
can be extremely difficult, time consuming and costly, especially when it
1
isn't done right the first time. Quantum has done the hard work for you
by carefully designing the DPM5500 to closely match the capabilities of
Microsoft Data Protection Manager. By choosing the appropriately
configured server, the right disk array can deliver the performance and
quality that backup, recovery and archive environments demand,
Quantum's DPM5500 stands above the rest in terms of ease of use,
performance, integration of differentiated features and an impressive
reputation for certified service and support.
The DPM5500 is available in both 4.8TB and 9.6TB configurations and
enough performance muscle to backup 8TB's of Windows application
data every hour.
