Quantum unveils backup and recovery solutions

Quantum announced a range of disk-based backup and recovery
appliances to provide installation and integration, reliability and performance,
and a low cost per gigabyte (GB) for SMEs, workgroups and remote offices. The
new DX3000 and DX5000 appliances offer
flexibility for diverse business environments and a range of
capacities.

The DX3000 and DX5000 products are designed to minimize the
burden of deploying disk-based backup and recovery solutions. They include the
necessary disk arrays, controllers, interfaces and system control and management
tools in a package ready for customer installation. DX3000

and DX5000 leverage Quantum's Optyon hardware compression technology, which
expands the usable capacity and lowers
the cost per GB of the

appliance.

A DX3000 appliance with Optyon compression provides 5.6 TB of
usable capacity (based on 2:1 compression)—as well as iSCSI or Fibre Channel
connectivity and onsite service warranty at an estimated price of $2.85 per GB.

The DX3000 and DX5000 appliances can be deployed and
integrated into existing infrastructures without process re-engineering. These
appliances give customers implementation options through compatibility with
iSCSI or fiber channel networks and deployment as virtual tape or disk connected
via Ethernet or Fibre Channel interfaces.

Also included are dual RAID controllers, redundant and
hot-swappable power supplies, hot-swap disk drives and redundant fans. The
DX3000 and DX5000 deliver RAID 5-based capacity points from 1.2 usable TB to
over 14.4 TB compressed usable capacity per unit. They integrate with any open
systems tape automation system to allow data migration and archive. These new
appliances are compatible with backup packages, including CA ArcServe, CommVault
Galaxy, EMC Legato Networker, HP OpenView Data Protector, VERITAS Backup Exec
and VERITAS Net Backup.

The DPM5500 offers a 5U appliance with RAID 5-protected
usable capacity points ranging from 3.6 TB to 14.4 TB compressed usable
capacity.
