It comes with a scalable capacity of up to 240 TB, performance of up to 8 TB/hour, a high-availability architecture, and a unique policy-based data de-duplication approach.
The de-duplication technology in Quantum's DXi-Series portfolio is designed to allow users to retain 10 to 50 times more backup data on fast recovery disk and use existing WANs to replicate backup between sites, reducing or even eliminating the administration challenge of removable media at remote sites.
"The value propositions of data de-duplication are abundantly clear, and the technology is fast becoming a requisite for customers investing in disk-based backup solutions," said Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst for Taneja Group.
The DXi7500 offers either in-line or post-process functionality based on the requirements of each backup job, meaning customers no longer must choose between performance and capacity allotment when deciding on a disk-based de-duplication solution. Additionally, the hardware-based data compression technology for open systems disk-based backup, in the DXi7500, results in better efficiencies across data reduction and system performance.
"Quantum's DXi7500 signifies the first time that the benefits of data de-duplication are fully leveraged across the distributed enterprise," said Bill Britts, executive VP of Sales, Marketing and Service for Quantum.
The DXi7500 is designed to be easy to deploy and operate. The system can be presented to the backup software as a NAS mount point (CIFS/NFS), as a VTL with either Fibre Channel or iSCSI connectivity, or across all presentations simultaneously. The DXi-Series is fully compatible with all leading backup applications and does not require that users change their existing backup methodology or infrastructure. The DXi7500 also increases customer flexibility by allowing some features, such as data de-duplication, replication and integrated tape creation to be licensable options.
As part of a comprehensive solutions set from Quantum, the DXi7500 is supported by a suite of global service offerings. Included as standard are Quantum StorageCare onsite warranty and StorageCare Guardian, Quantum's proactive remote support solution. Warranty extensions and upgrades, as well as a full portfolio of product integration services, are optional. Quantum plans to ship the DXi7500 in fall 2007.
