DXi 5500 Product Details

Quantum’s DXi5500 solution is an integrated appliance that is easy to install and use with all leading backup applications. It provide best-in-class performance and flexible, easy-to-use interface options including NAS, virtual tape library or mixed presentations along with Fibre Channel and iSCSI connectivity.

The DXi5500 delivers:

• Advanced Data De-duplication Increasing Disk Retention for Backup Data
  The DXi5500 disk backup and replication appliance leverages Quantum’s patented data de-duplication technology to dramatically increase the role that disk can play in the protection of critical data. With the DXi5500 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 DXi5500 replication, users can transmit data from a single site or multiple sites to a central location. DXi5500 replication is asynchronous, automated, and it operates as a background process.
   
• Easy Installation and Use in Existing Environments
  The DXi5500 is an integrated appliance with an intuitive graphical user interface and two presentation modes that make it easy to install, share, and manage. A backup NAS interface allows users to attach a DXi5500 appliance to any Ethernet network and share it easily between multiple media servers. For larger, SAN environments, a virtual tape library interface (Fibre Channel or iSCSI) gives users enterprise performance and lets them use standard tape library presentations.
   
• Advantage Over Conventional Disk
  Quantum’s DXi-Series are a cost-effective way for IT departments to store backup data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable restores and increasing both recovery points and your disaster recovery options.

DXi5500 models

* Capacities and amount of data protected assume standard business data mix and extended on-disk data retention. 20:1 capacity ratio assumes a weekly full and daily incremental backup model. 50:1 capacity ratio assumes daily full backups. Actual results will vary data type, change rates, and backup methodologies. Smaller DXi-Series appliances can be scaled in-chassis and on-site to specific larger units: DXi3500 1.2TB units scales 2.8TB units; DXi3500 1.8TB units scale to 4.2TB units; DXi5500 3.6TB units scale to 7.2TB units; DXi5500 units scales to 10.8TB units.
