The Limitations of Conventional Enterprise Disk Backup

Using disk deduplication appliances for Enterprise-scale backup presents major problems for many IT departments. Large-scale disk backup systems often can't deliver the kind of backup performance, data reduction rates, and replication capability needed to protect Enterprise assets or to centralize data from branch and remote offices. And interfaces with backup software are frequently limited, making it hard to switch applications or to move data to a tertiary layer, like tape, for DR protection.

Conventional appliances also become more and more expensive as they mature. They often balloon in size, forcing IT departments to dedicate more and more space, power and cooling to them. And upgrade costs, including surprise maintenance fee hikes, often make expanding systems unaffordable.

Enterprise Backup and Replication

DXi9000 is a true enterprise-scale disk backup system. It provides industry leading performance of up to 37 TB per hour and up to 20.4 PB logical capacity. DXi9000 is completely compatible with all leading backup software, and up to 128 partitions can present themselves as CIFS/NFS shares, VTLs, or OST LSUs for maximum flexibility. Replication, encryption, full hardware redundancy, and an integrated path to tape are standard features, keeping costs low and predictable.

DXi900 solves two costly data center issues: resource use and growth. It offers the smallest data center footprint of any leading disk backup system, along with lowest power and cooling needs. And it provides the industry's least disruptive scalability-even providing a capacity-on-demand option that allows users to add capacity by simply turning on a software key.
