Data Deduplication to Reduce Disk Requirements
Quantum’s approach to data deduplication technology divides data into variable-length blocks and uses signatures to identify blocks that it has seen before. When it sees a repeated block, it stores a pointer to the original instead of storing another copy of the data. Since the pointer takes up less space than the data block, disk requirements are reduced. In typical backup configurations, users reduce the disk needed for backup by 90% or more. Deduplication allows users to hold more backup data on disk, giving them more recovery points from fast recovery, random access storage. Variable-length deduplication, for which Quantum owns the foundational patent, provides consistently high rates of data reduction for standard primary applications (email, databases, user shares, etc.) and is the most widely deployed deduplication approach.
Simple NAS Interface for Easy Installation and Sharing
The DXi6500 is designed to make advanced deduplication easy to order, deploy, and scale in the widest variety of user environments. The interface for all DXi6500 models uses a standard NAS presentation (either CIFS or NFS) to make it simple to add to any environment with Ethernet-based networks, and easy to share between multiple servers. All DXi6500 units also support the Symantec OpenStorage (OST) interface as well for users of NetBackup and Backup Exec 2010. Users can define up to 128 separate shares in any DXi6500, and the system allows users to mix share types (CIFS, NFS, OST). That feature makes it easy to consolidate backup across Unix, Linux, and Windows systems and across different backup applications in a single backup device.
