Quantum Research Report Sample

Quantum has long been a leading vendor of data protection storage, and a number of years ago extended a rich history of tape system innovation with a series of new disk-based data protection appliances under the product family banner of DXi™. The family began with the introduction of several appliances that utilized Quantum’s patented variable-length deduplication technology in 2005 and followed in 2007 with the release of its flagship DXi7500 enterprisesized system. Since then, Quantum has continued to enhance its DXi offerings. In the past year, the company has completely refreshed and expanded its entire DXi product line with the new DXi6000 mid-range NAS and VTL appliances as well as the DXi4500 for the SMB and ROBO markets and, most recently, the introduction of the new DXi8500 enterprise system.

For the large enterprise, the DXi8500 anchors a cost effective, multi-site, multi-tiered storage infrastructure. Together with the latest enhancements to the DXi-Series, Quantum simplified and cost optimized their data protection offerings.
