Quantum DXi

DXi backup and deduplication systems are unique, high-performance solutions for comprehensive data protection against threats of any kind, in offices, data centers, clouds

REDUCING BUSINESS RISKS IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN NEVER BEFORE

Data protection in a company is becoming more complex due to the constant increase in the number of databases, virtual environments and unstructured data sets. IT specialists are forced to maintain the required level of service in the company, protect the infrastructure from operational errors, protect data in data centers, clouds and offices, ensure data recovery after intrusions, natural disasters and accidents. At the same time, budgets for providing protection are not growing as fast as the requirements for it.

DXI SERIES SOLUTIONS: DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

DXi is a unique, high-performance solution that fully covers your data backup and recovery needs. DXi provides cost-effective, easy-to-manage solutions with high data access speed and the ability to deploy both in remote offices and in huge data centers. DXi reduces the time spent on backup and recovery many times over.

Reduce costs with highly efficient data compression

Protect yourself from cyber threats with impenetrable backups

Protect your entire company infrastructure

Get maximum performance and flexibility

Reduce data center power and cooling costs

SCALABLE, GEO-DISTRIBUTED DATA PROTECTION

DXi instances easily scale from a few terabytes to hundreds of petabytes. Remote offices quickly deploy small virtual and hardware DXi instances that collect and compress backup data, and Quantum's highly efficient replication algorithms copy the data to a DXi solution installed in the data center and capable of scaling up to 420PB. DXi Cloud Share provides the ability to store backups in private and public clouds.

Addressing the Growing Unstructured Data Problem

The growth of unstructured data is significantly outpacing storage budgets due to a variety of factors. Given the sheer volume and velocity of incoming data, traditional storage solutions are unable to cope with the load.

Quantum StorNext® is a software platform and high-speed file system for shared storage that can span multiple storage types in a single namespace with integrated data lifecycle management. It is ideal for large video files, digital images, and other types of unstructured data. StorNext is used by large enterprises to store, protect, and archive data.

StorNext enables these companies to accelerate their workflows, significantly reduce time to results, and bridge the gap between data growth and budgets by managing data throughout its entire lifecycle.

StorNext Solution

StorNext provides complete data lifecycle management from creation to archiving. As data moves between storage media, from NVMe or SSD to HDD, tape, or cloud, StorNext provides continuous access. For performance-oriented applications, StorNext uses direct storage connectivity via iSER/RDMA or IB, delivering throughput of up to 23 GB/s on a single stream. Storage media can be NVMe or SSD Flash for sub-millisecond latency.

Thousands of parallel streams are supported for maximum data loading and streaming. When data no longer requires high performance, it is automatically moved to lower-cost storage according to policy. If data requires long-term retention, it can be copied or moved to supported Quantum LTO tapes, ActiveScale™ object storage on-premises, or S3 in the public cloud. Data stored in object storage or S3 in the cloud is self-describing, which provides many benefits: the ability to run analytics applications directly on data in the cloud, facilitate collaboration across departments or organizations, and protect data from infrastructure obsolescence or vendor lock-in.
