The Quantum DXi7500 leverages data deduplication to reduce disk and network bandwidth requirements by 90% or more, lowering disk backup costs and making WAN replication a practical DR tool. Designed for data centers and consolidated backup environments, the Quantum DXi7500 gives users a choice of deduplication policies and replication strategies and allows them to automate the integration of tape into their disk backup strategy to combine near-term protection and long-term retention in a single system. With up to 220TB usable capacity and 4TB/hr ingest, the DXi7500’s policy-based deduplication gives users the ability to choose different deduplication approaches for different datasets, providing optimal value in the widest range of data protection environments.

The Quantum DXi7500 supports VTL (Fibre Channel) and NAS (CIFS and NFS) presentations, and can be linked by replication to other disk backup systems leveraging Quantum’s deduplication software, allowing it to anchor an enterprise-wide data protection strategy that includes both virtual and physical servers. The Quantum DXi7500 reduces costs and improves data protection by streamlining the management of multi-site, multi-tier backup and DR strategies through advanced features, flexible management, and close integration with backup applications, including Symantec™’s Open Storage Initiative.

The DXi7500 uses Quantum’s patented data deduplication technology to dramatically increase the role that disk can play protecting both virtual and physical servers. With DXi®-Series solutions, users can reduce capacity requirements for disk by 90% or more
and make WAN-based remote replication of backup data a practical tool for disaster recovery protection. This advantage allows IT departments to cost-effectively retain months of backup data on disk for faster, more reliable restores and more data recovery
points. Quantum’s innovative implementation of this core technology means that users do not have to compromise on performance to take advantage of extended retention capability. The DXi-Series policy-based deduplication option gives users the ability to
choose different deduplication approaches for different data sets, providing businessbenefits for the widest possible range of data protection environments.

REPLICATION
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; cartridge-by-cartridge and file-by-file
replication provides automated access to data at the target; CLI support scripting/scheduling. Provides application-aware replication with NetBackup and Backup Exec OST interface.

OST SUPPORT
Symantec OpenStorage (OST) API Support
Support for OST is an option for all DXi7500 units, allowing users to write data to OST logicalstorage units (LSUs) and enabling application-aware replication in NetBackup and Backup Exec environments. 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
Direct tape creation—physical tape can be written in background over a dedicated Fibre Channel connection without using media server or backup SAN. For VTL interface, the function maintains barcode integrity between virtual and physical tapes and is compatible with backup software direct to tape commands (e.g., Backup Exec, NetBackup, EMC Networker, Oracle Secure Backup, and Atempo TimeNavigator). Shadow tape creation supported for automated creation of physical media with applications, including Bakbone NetVault, CA ARCserve, CommVault Galaxy, HP Data Protector, IBM TSM, and Symantec BackupExec. DXi7500 units also 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 (NetBackup 6.5.4 and later). OST direct tape creation is also compatible with application aware replication.

SCALABILITY
18TB to 220TB usable capacity for DXi7500 Enterprise models, depending on configuration. In addition, field upgrades from DXi7500 Express units to the full DXi7500 Enterprise disk backup systems are available. All disk is retained and all data is preserved during all capacity upgrades.
