Quantum Introduces First Capacity on Demand Deduplication Appliance
New DXi4601 Combines Simple, Non-Disruptive Capacity Growth With Leading Performance and Data Reduction Rates for SMBs and Remote Office Environments
(firmenpresse) - SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/04/11 --
Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM), the leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, today announced an innovative approach to expanding in-line deduplication capacity with the latest addition to its DXi4000 family of disk backup systems. The scales from 4 TB up to 12 TB of usable capacity by simply activating a licensing key. This industry-first capability results in fast and easy scalability without requiring hardware changes or service visits, overcoming the limitations and complexity of grid systems that scale by adding nodes. Designed for small data centers or remote offices, the DXi4601 achieves twice the deduplication performance of competitors in its class at half the price, delivering fast data backup and restores as well as a quick return on investment.
Quantum's DXi4601 pre-populates the appliance with disk capacity, allowing IT managers to license it as it is needed. This capacity on demand makes it easy to manage growth non-disruptively, eliminating the cost of a service visit or rack reconfiguration. An IT manager can start with 4 TB usable storage and, as site requirements grow, purchase licenses to immediately unlock additional 4 TB increments of capacity, up to 12 TB. Storage is RAID 6 protected, with individual 2 TB disk drives.
The new DXi appliance deduplicates globally across data coming into the system from all sources, providing higher deduplication rates than node-based grid systems which only deduplicate data received by the same node.
The DXi4601 is a manageable solution to data growth that enables IT departments on tight budgets to purchase additional deduplication capacity as they are ready for it.
With Quantum's industry-leading variable-length, in-line deduplication technology customers can retain more data for a longer period than competitive offerings.
With DXi 2.0 software serving at its foundation, the DXi4601 achieves 1.7 TB/hour in-line deduplication performance across all capacity points, the fastest in its class. At an industry-leading price of $21,500 for a 4 TB system, its price-performance ratio is three to six times better than competitive offerings.
The base price of the DXi4601 includes a simple NAS interface for fast, easy deployment; replication for automated, low-cost disaster recovery protection across distributed sites; and Symantec OpenStorage API (OST) support.
DXi4000 appliances fully integrate with all leading backup software, including that designed specifically for virtual servers -- such as the software from Pancetera, which Quantum acquired in June.
DXi4000 appliances provide a single platform to consolidate backup and disaster recovery protection for both physical and virtual servers. Unlike backup software-based deduplication, DXi4000 appliances maximize performance without requiring changes to backup architectures or disruptive backup server upgrades.
Quantum Vision™ management software enables backup administrators to monitor, plan and optimize any DXi system or Quantum Scalar tape library from their desktop. In addition, with the Quantum Vision for iPhone app, administrators gain mobile access to department systems from their iPhone or iPad so they can identify and address system issues quickly.
Jeff Boles, senior analyst, Taneja Group: "Quantum's capacity on demand approach eliminates most of the key problems that are created with grid systems that scale by adding what are effectively independent nodes. I can't think of a faster or easier way to scale than being able to turn on capacity when you need it."
Shawn Hamby, director of Engineering, Integrated Archive Systems: "With the DXi4601 we can remove uncertainty our customers might have regarding their deduplication capacity requirements. The combination of capacity on demand and Quantum's fast, in-line data flow makes ongoing backup storage management a snap."
Rob Clark, senior vice president, Disk and Tape Backup Product Group, Quantum: "Quantum's innovations in midrange and Enterprise products have shown that we are committed to reducing the cost and complexity of integrating deduplication into data protection. The DXi4601 enables customers to retain data longer, at the best price-performance point, while providing simple, scalable investment protection for
future growth."
