Product Overview
The DXi6500 and DXi6700 disk backup and replication appliances use
Quantum’s data deduplication technology to expand the amount of
backup data users can retain on fast-recovery RAID systems by 10 to 50
times. The result is a cost-effective way for IT departments to store backup
data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable
restores, increasing available data recovery points, and reducing media
management.
For disaster recovery in distributed environments, the DXi6500 and
DXi6700 systems makes automated WAN replication practical by
dramatically reducing the bandwidth required to move backup data
securely between sites.
DXi6500 and DXi6700 solutions are integrated systems that are easy to
install and use with all leading backup applications. They provide best-in-
class performance with flexible, easy-to-use NAS and OST presentations as
well as Ethernet and optional Fibre Channel connectivity. DXi6500 and
DXi6700 appliances are part of a comprehensive set of backup solutions,
serviced and supported by Quantum, the leading global specialist in
backup, recovery, and archive.
