Overview
The DXi4000 is Quantum’s entry level disk backup solution that
integrates data deduplication and replication technology to connect
backup and DR (disaster recovery) protection across distributed
corporate environments. The DXi4000 disk-based backup appliance uses
Quantum’s patented data deduplication technology to increase disk
capacities by 10 to 50 times, and make WAN replication a practical,
cost-effective part of disaster recovery planning. With up to 12 TB
capacity (up to 11.61 TB usable for data storage), the DXi4000 is
designed for departmental and medium business customers.
Advanced Data Deduplication Increasing Disk Retention for
Backup Data
The DXi4000 leverages Quantum’s patented data deduplication
technology (U.S. Pat. No. 5,990,810) to dramatically increase the role
that disk can play in the protection of critical data. With the DXi4000
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 the DXi4000, users can transmit backup data from a remote site to
a central, secure location to reduce or eliminate media handling.
DXi™-Series replication is asynchronous, automated, and operates as a
background process.
Enterprise Features Provide Secure Repository
The DXi4000 features up to 12 TB capacity (up to 11.61 TB usable for
data storage). The DXi4000 presents storage as NAS shares (CIFS and
NFS) or OST storage servers.
