BANGALORE: Quantum Corporation has introduced the DX100 enhanced backup technology platform, with a compression engine technology that doubles storage capacity of its DX products, and added functionality and capacity to its already-popular DX30.



The DX100 is designed to handle the backup and restore requirements of large distributed data centers running mission-critical database, CRM and ERP applications. It is composed of a controller for data management with multiple optimized ATA arrays allowing for initial native capacity scalable from roughly 6-50 Terabytes (TB). The DX100 is planned to ship with high-availability hardware features, including redundant hot swap fans and power supplies, dual redundant Fiber Channel ports and RAID protection. Added software benefits planned include operational management through SNMP, performance monitoring and remote replication.



The DX100 would be optimized for backup, allowing customers many management and performance benefits not found in standard ATA arrays used for backup. Quantum has designed DX products to emulate a tape library, preserving customers' existing investment in their current backup processes and infrastructure. Customers can set the preferred size and number of emulated tape cartridges in order to easily adapt DX products for their specific data protection policies, and increase backup performance and confidence by multiplexing simultaneous backup jobs and easily sharing backups from a single DX product to multiple tape devices.



The Quantum DX100 is scheduled to be available to Indian customers through select Quantum resellers at the end of the third calendar quarter of 2003.
