SAN JOSE, USA: Data storage service provider Quantum Corp. announced two new solutions - NDX-8 NAS appliance and RDX 8000 removable disk library - that come with data de-duplication and disaster recovery features.
The NDX-8 NAS appliance delivers 8 TB of NAS storage and features built-in back-up software and de-duplication technology.
The Quantum RDX 8000 is an eight-slot RDX cartridge disk library. It features Quantum Datastor Shield de-duplication software. Is compatible with all RDX cartridges available today -- with capacity from 160 GB to 1 TB and supports up to 8 TB of native capacity (eight 1 TB cartridges) and provides forward compatibility with future capacities.
For offsite disaster recovery protection, the NDX can replicate data to a second NDX appliance or move data offsite with the RDX 8000, claims the company in a release.
Both products are also forward compatible with future cloud back-up services.
"Customers tell us that data protection for small businesses and workgroups is overly complex," said Rob Clark, senior vice president, Disk and Tape Data Protection Group, Quantum. "Quantum's new NDX appliances and RDX libraries provide a total data protection solution that is affordable to implement and simple to use. Along with our DXi de-duplication systems, this expansion of our portfolio enables us to offer best-in-class disk-based technology solutions that address an even broader range of customer data protection needs."
The NDX-8d comes preconfigured with Quantum Datastor Shield. Quantum also offers the NDX-8 without de-duplication technology, incorporating components, such as the Intel Core i3 3.3 GHz processor and 4 GB RAM, it is ideal for primary storage, with twice the performance and memory of competitive NAS products.
In 2012, a 1.5 TB RDX cartridge is expected to ship, which will increase the maximum capacity of the RDX 8000 by 50 percent to 12 TB, adds the company.
Quantum NDX-8d appliance with data de-duplication comes for $5,139, and $4,029 without it. The RDX 8000 with data de-duplication is priced at $4,999, and $3,889 without it.
