Product Overview

The DXi-Series disk backup and replication appliances use Quantum's data
de-duplication 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 DXi-Series appliances make
automated, WAN replication practical by dramatically reducing the
bandwidth required to move backup data securely between sites. DXi-
Series solutions are integrated appliances that are easy to install and use
with all leading backup applications. They provide best-in-class
performance and flexible, easy-to-use interface options including NAS,
virtual library or mixed presentations along with Fibre Channel and iSCSI
connectivity. DXi-Series appliances are part of a comprehensive set of
backup solutions, serviced and supported by Quantum, the leading global
specialist in backup, recovery, and archive.
