The DXi5500 disk-based backup appliance uses Quantum’s patented data de-duplication technology to increase the amount of backup data users can retain on disk by 10 to 50 times. Quantum’s DXi5500 provides fast and reliable backup and restore and makes WAN replication a practical, cost-effective part of disaster recovery planning. The DXi5500 is designed for larger sites and mid-range data centers with up to 11TB of local data to protect.

• Up to 540TB of backup retention disk capacity

• High backup performance of up to 800GB per hour provides enterprise scale protection

• Multi-site replication options for WAN-based remote replication

Quantum’s DXi5500 solution is an integrated appliance that is easy to install and use with all leading backup applications. It provide best-in-class performance and flexible, easy-to-use interface options including NAS, virtual tape library or mixed presentations along with Fibre Channel and iSCSI connectivity. The DXi5500 delivers:

• Advanced Data De-duplication Increasing Disk Retention for Backup Data
  The DXi5500 disk backup and replication appliance leverages Quantum’s patented data de-duplication technology to dramatically increase the role that disk can play in the protection of critical data. With the DXi5500 solution, users can retain 10 to 50 times more backup data on fast recovery disk than with conventional arrays.

• Remote Replication of Backup Data Providing Automated Disaster Recovery Protection
  With DXi5500 replication, users can transmit data from a single site or multiple sites to a central location. DXi5500 replication is asynchronous, automated, and it operates as a background process.

• Easy Installation and Use in Existing Environments
  The DXi5500 is an integrated appliance with an intuitive graphical user interface and two presentation modes that make it easy to install, share, and manage. A backup NAS interface allows users to attach a DXi5500 appliance to any Ethernet network and share it easily between multiple media servers. For larger, SAN environments, a virtual tape library interface (Fibre Channel or iSCSI) gives users enterprise performance and lets them use standard tape library presentations.

• Advantage Over Conventional Disk
  Quantum’s DXi-Series are a cost-effective way for IT departments to store backup data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable restores and increasing both recovery points and your disaster recovery options.
