6702 Site Planning Guide

Product Overview

The DXi6700 family of 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 DXi6700 systems 

make automated WAN replication practical by dramatically reducing the 

bandwidth required to move backup data securely between sites.
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 interface options including NAS, 

OST, virtual library, or mixed presentations, as well as Ethernet and Fibre 

Channel connectivity. 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.
