Quantum Disk Based Backup    Quantum Tape Libraries

Quantum: Back up, Recovery, ArchiveSunstar Company, Inc. is proud to be a Quantum partner!

DX30

The Quantum DX30 is the optimal entry-level solution that 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 DX30 processor!

 

  • High availability features such as RAID 5 and redundant, hot-swappable components
  • Up to 1TB/hr to meet short backup windows and provide quick restores
  • Restore files 5 to 10 times faster than a conventional tape library 
  • Up to 16TB total raw capacity in 4TB increments
  • Supported by every major backup software vendor 

The DX30 enhances an existing tape backup system by separating the backup target from the backup archive.  After installing a DX30, backup jobs are sent directly to the DX30 (the backup target) with throughput up to 1TB/hr. 

With the Quantum DX30 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 DX30 seamlessly integrates into existing backup architectures without any changes to existing processes.  Since it emulates a tape library, the DX30 is not susceptible to fragmentation, file or operating system overhead, tuning, hackers, or volume management complexities. The DX30 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 DX30 disk-based virtual tape library system over two 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 DX30 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 DX30 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.

 

DX30 Product Services and Support  

Through Quantum StorageCare™ Service, a one-year on-site warranty: 5x9 next day response comes standard with each DX30. A variety of hardware support plans are available with up to 7x24x4 support in many countries around the globe. Quantum also offers standard and custom integration packages for all Quantum enterprise-class products in most environments and configurations.

guardianThe DX30 is supported by StorageCare Guardian, Quantum's new proactive remote monitoring solution. Leveraging the intelligence inside the DX30, Guardian enables Quantum to proactively monitor the health of the library over the Internet and use intelligent diagnostics data to remotely service the equipment when something is wrong. Designed to deliver highly reliable backups and rapid resolution time, Guardian is offered at no extra cost for products under warranty or service contract. Guardian is easy to install and can be downloaded online.
