Quantum DXi8500 User's Guide
Remote Replication of Backup Data Providing Automated
Disaster Recovery Protection
With the DXi8500, users can transmit backup data from 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, and operates as a
background process.
Enterprise Features Provide Secure, Centralized Repository
With up to 330TB usable capacity, the DXi8500 supports large-scale
Enterprise environments. Presentations include both VTL (Fibre Channel)
and NAS (CIFS and NFS) as well as Symantec OpenStorage (OST) APIs.
Integrated tape creation writes physical media directly over dedicated
Fibre Channel connections, and supports ISV direct tape creation,
Backup Exec, NetWorker, Oracle Secure Backup, and Atempo.
DXi Accent distributes deduplication between the DXi8500 and the
backup server to accelerate backups over bandwidth-constrained
networks. Compatibility with Quantum's vmPRO software provides
consolidated support for backup of physical and virtual servers.
In addition, DXi8500 systems support Data-at-Rest Encryption to secure
all data stored on the DXi8500. Data-at-Rest Encryption ensures that a
hard drive that is physically removed from the DXi8500 cannot be read
using another system or device
The DXi8500 system provides the following features and benefits:
• Leading performance and scalable capacity
• New, inline data flow provides leading deduplication with an
optimal combination of total system performance, manageability,
and value.
• Flexibility of VTL, NAS, and OST (OpenStorage) presentation layers
• High throughput connectivity (10 GbE and 8 Gb Fibre Channel)
