Quantum DXi V Series
High-Performing, Affordable, and Extensible Virtual Backup Appliances
Overview:
Quantum DXi ® V-Series is a virtual deduplication backup appliance that protects physical and virtual data across remote sites, the datacenter and cloud deployments.
DXi V-Series Virtual Backup Appliance
- 100% Software and Virtual | eliminates the needs to deploy additional hardware without sacrificing performance.
- Best-in-Class Performance | 4.9TB/hr ingest reduces backup windows while reducing storage footprint.
- Cloud Ready | ideal for Backup as a Service whether in a private, public or hybrid based environment.
- Award Winning Deduplication | patented deduplication reduces storage requirements by up to 90%.
- Industry Leading Scalability | from 1TB-360TB* capacity in a single virtual backup appliance with two options DXi V2000 and DXi V4000.
- Flexible Deployment | DXi V-Series can be deployed anywhere supporting remote and data center data protection services
DXi® V-Series is a virtual backup appliance that combines the power and performance of dedupe functionality with the simplicity and flexibility of virtual machines.
100% Virtual
The DXi V-Series was designed from the
beginning around virtualization. This 100%
virtual appliance approach maintains high
performance and scalability, usually reserved
for physical appliances, enabling customers
to get the most out of their investment in
virtualized infrastructure. Whether you
are looking to protect a fully virtualized
environment or a mix of physical and virtual,
the DXi V-Series can protect all data types.
Reduce Hardware Requirements
Virtualization technologies deliver the ability
to scale your environment quickly and easily
using existing capital equipment. Your data
protection solution should be able to support
the same while reducing overall expenses.
The DXi V-Series deploys using existing
virtual infrastructure, so no new servers or
storage are required. With patented inline
deduplication, DXi V-Series reduces storage
footprint by as much as 90%.
Disaster Recovery And Cloud Baas For Any Size Organization
No matter what your data protection needs
are today, or in the future, DXi V-Series has
you covered. With single virtual appliance
scalability from 1TB-480TB*, customers can
deploy DXi V-Series in a wide range of uses.
Whether you are looking for remote site, data
center protection or looking to deploy Cloud
Backup-as-a-Service, DXi V-Series enables
this type of flexibility.
High Performance And Simple Scalability
DXi V-Series has changed the hardware
performance and scale paradigm by providing
up to 5TB/hr ingest and up to 480TB* of scale
in a single virtual appliance model. Easily
add more capacity to your DXi V-Series by
updating the license file and deliver optimal
performance by taking advantage of virtual
machine technologies such as vMotion and
vStorage Motion.

DXi Accent | |
DXi Accent software allows the backup server to collaborate in the deduplication process, offloading part of the data reduction activity so that only unique blocks are sent over the network to the DXi appliance. This hybrid approach provides faster backups over bandwidth-constrained LANs or WANs. DXi Accent can be enabled or disabled on a per-media server basis. Initial support for DXi Accent is provided through the NetBackup OpenStorage (OST) API. | |
Replication Included For All Units | |
Replication-compatible with DXi systems using NAS or OST presentations. Replication is asynchronous, one-to-one configurations; partitions in same unit act as replication source or target; units with partitions acting as replication targets can also support local backup; data is deduplicated and encrypted prior to transmission; file-based replication provides automated access to data at the target; CLI supports scripting/scheduling. Configurations support replication bandwidth control. | |
