Quantum enhances DXi7500 capabilities

SAN JOSE, USA: SAN JOSE, USA: Quantum Corp., a provider of back-up, recovery and archive products, launched a version of its DXi7500 data deduplication system optimized for network-attached storage (NAS) and Symantec Corp. OpenStorage (OST) interfaces. 

The hardware configuration provides improved Ethernet connectivity, while the updated software supports disk-tape integration in five additional backup applications. This combination of hardware and software enhancements, in conjunction with ISV partner applications, enables NAS and OpenStorage customers to leverage the benefits of deduplication as part of a multi-tier data protection strategy.

The DXi7500-N includes six GbE ports, two fibre channel ports, and bundled NAS as a standard feature. The Ethernet-centric configuration enables customers to effectively manage deduplicated backup in larger, more complex OpenStorage environments where Ethernet is required.
