If you’re like most organizations, you’re faced with rising costs, reduced budgets, and concerns about staying eco-friendly. Data center power, cooling, and space requirements are becoming a challenge. And the demands for data protection, including improved restore performance, longer data retention times, and integrating technology such as deduplication, are growing exponentially.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Storage

To be more energy efficient, the idea is to match your various business requirements with the proper data storage technology. In most cases, this results in a multitier storage architecture that includes a mix of disk, deduplication, and tape technologies. Quantum is the only provider that delivers this type of integrated solution, which leverages deduplication to use less disk space, tape technology for long-term data storage, and data management software to streamline the process.

A Commitment to the Environment

Quantum is dedicated to minimizing the environmental impact in both the development and delivery of its solutions. Quantum is in full compliance with RoHS restrictions, tracks the removal of several materials beyond the RoHS requirements, and is pursuing the removal of all brominate materials in new product designs. Quantum has established WEEE compliance in August 2005, and planning is under way to implement the EU Energy Efficiency Action Plan, which seeks to reduce energy consumption by improving energy efficiency. Quantum is a member of multiple industry associations that focus on minimizing environmental impact.

Simply by using an innovative multitier architecture, you can stay environmentally friendly while maximizing your resources and your budget.
