Product Overview
The DXi7500 disk backup and replication appliances use Quantum’s data
de-duplication 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 DXi7500 system makes
automated, WAN replication practical by dramatically reducing the
bandwidth required to move backup data securely between sites. DXi7500
solutions are integrated systems that are easy to install and use with all
leading backup applications. They provide best-in-class performance and
flexible, easy-to-use interface options including NAS, virtual library or
mixed presentations along with Fibre Channel and Ethernet connectivity.
DXi7500 appliances are part of a comprehensive set of backup solutions,
serviced and supported by Quantum, the leading global specialist in
backup, recovery, and archive.
