Quantum DXi6500
Highlights:
For many IT departments, traditional backup has not kept
up with the need for faster performance and trouble-free
restore. Disk-to-disk systems, which can increase backup
speed and reliability, fill up too quickly, hold too few
recovery points, and do not offer a practical Disaster
Recovery (DR) solution. The ideal backup solution, IT
departments are often told, will require major
infrastructure changes, complex integration, and high
costs.
The Quantum DXi6500 from Quantum offers a different
kind of solution—it solves even complex backup problems
simply and affordably by integrating the most advanced
storage technology into a simple, pre-configured solution
that includes all software licenses in the base price. The
Quantum DXi6500 is a family of easily shared backup
solutions that give disk-to-disk backup and restore
performance with all leading backup applications using a
simple NAS interface. The Quantum DXi6500’s
deduplication technology reduces typical disk capacity
needs by 90% or more so systems stop filling up—and it
scales easily without a service visit, providing effective
investment protection.
For DR protection, the Quantum DXi6500 replicates
encrypted backup data between sites, using global
deduplication to reduce typical network bandwidth
requirements by a factor of 20 or more. For long term
retention, the Quantum DXi6500 is designed to provide
direct tape creation in conjunction with leading backup
applications, including Symantec applications using the
OpenStorage (OST) API. The end result is multi-site,
multi-tier protection that is easy to manage both for
near-term restore and longterm retention.
The Quantum DXi6500 is a family of easily-deployed,
affordable network-attached disk backup appliances
with data deduplication that provide simple solutions
to backup problems.
Replication of backup data provides DR over WAN
connections, reducing use of removable media and
lowering costs.
INTERFACES Multiple interfaces supported in single unit simultaneously NAS Backup Target: NFS
and/or CIFS mount point OpenStorage (OST) API: Symantec Storage Servers and
Logical Storage Units (LSU)s Shares (max): 128
PERFORMANCE In-line Adaptive Operation: up to 2.0TB/hour
STANDARD SOFTWARE INCLUDED The base price of all DXi6500 models includes deduplication, replication, OST support,
and esXpress™ backup software for VMware.
SCALABILITY STANDARD 8TB to 56TB usable capacity for DXi6500 models, depending on configuration. All
systems scale on site without requiring a service visit by adding 8TB expansion
modules. All disk is retained and all data is preserved during all capacity upgrades.
REPLICATION INCLUDED FOR ALL UNITS Replication-compatible with all DXi-Series products. Replication is asynchronous,
one-to-one or multiple-to-one configurations; partitions in same unit act as replication
source or target; units with partitions acting as replication targets can also support
local backup; data is deduplicated and encrypted prior to transmission; file-by-file
replication provides automated access to data at the target; CLI support
scripting/scheduling. Also included is application aware replication with NetBackup OST
interface.
OPENSTORAGE (OST) SUPPORT INCLUDED FOR ALL UNITS Support for OST is included on all DXi6500 units, allowing users to write data to OST
logical storage units (LSUs) and enabling application-aware replication. DXi-Series units
with direct tape path capability (DXi7500, DXi6540 and DXi6550 models) support the
OST direct path to tape introduced in NetBackup 6.5.4.
DIRECT TAPE CREATION INCLUDED (DXi6540 AND DXi6550) Direct tape creation—physical tape can be written in background over a dedicated
Fibre Channel connection without using media server or backup SAN. DXi6500 units
support direct to tape operation under Symantec’s OST initiative—creating tape copies
directly from OST LSU data without using a media server to move data but under NBU
control. OST direct tape creation is also compatible with application-aware replication.
