The Quantum DX100
addresses the most significant backup challenges facing IT professionals:
meeting short backup windows, confidence that backups are complete,
and the ability to quickly restore data when needed. With Quantum's
patent-pending Optyon™ In-line Data Compression, the DX-Series
is the first and only open system disk-based virtual tape library
to offer hardware based compression! Optyon™ hardware
compression allows users to effectively double their usable
capacity with approximately 2:1 compression ratio* – without
decreasing the performance of the backup server or the DX100
processor!
- High availability features such as RAID 5 and redundant,
hot-swappable components
- Back up to 3.6TB/hr to meet short backup windows and provide
quick restores
- Restore files 5 to 10 times faster than a conventional
tape library
- Up to 166TB usable capacity in 10.4TB increments
- Supported by every major backup software vendor
The DX100 enhances an existing tape backup system by separating
the backup target from the backup archive. After installing
a DX100, backup jobs are sent directly to the DX100 (the backup
target) with throughput up to 3.6TB/hr. |

With the Quantum
DX100 system, high availability features such as RAID 5 and
redundant, hot-swappable components are combined with blazing
disk performance, which allows for more frequent and reliable
backup and restore operations. By emulating a tape library,
the DX100 seamlessly integrates into existing backup architectures
without any changes to existing processes. Since it emulates
a tape library, the DX100 is also not susceptible to fragmentation,
file or operating system overhead, tuning, hackers, or volume
management complexities. The DX100 truly complements existing
tape libraries (the backup archive) by allowing them to focus
on archive operations for disaster recovery and regulatory compliance.
As a pioneer in open systems virtual tape, Quantum Corporation
introduced the award-winning DX100 disk-based virtual tape
library system over four years ago. Quantum is now the first
open systems vendor to offer hardware-based data compression
via our patent-pending Optyon In-line Data Compression card.
It enables DX100 users to double their usable capacity with
approximately 2:1 compression. By offloading data compression
to a dedicated hardware adapter card, the backup server and
DX100 processor are not impacted. Competitor's disk-based
systems only offer software compression (if any at all), which
can decrease aggregate performance by 50% or more.
