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. 

Included with your DXi7500

The DXi7500 is fully configured to your specifications and pre-tested in the 

factory. Every DXi7500 base system arrives either on several pallets with all 

parts included or partially installed in a rack. Each system comes with an 

accessory kit containing rack-mount hardware and Documentation CD 

which includes the User’s Guide.
