The DXi6500 is a series of easily shared backup solutions that provide disk-to-disk backup and recovery performance by using a simple NAS interface with all leading backup applications. The DXi6500's deduplication technology can save up to 90% or more of conventional disk capacity, ensuring that the system doesn't quickly fill up and allowing for easy scalability without service access. In terms of disaster recovery protection, the DXi6500 can use global deduplication technology to replicate encrypted backup data between sites, reducing conventional network bandwidth requirements by 20% or more. In terms of long-term data retention, the DXi6500 is designed to provide direct tape creation functionality in collaboration with leading backup applications, such as those using the OpenStorage (OST) API from Symantec, enabling easy management of multi-point, multi-tier protection for both immediate recovery and long-term retention. The DXi6500 supports VMware and provides powerful protection for virtual environments, with each unit including backup software for VMware. With the DXi6500, IT departments can improve protection performance, achieve centralized management, and reduce overall costs.
The DXi6500 provides a simple, cost‑effective solution for disk‑to‑disk backup and disaster‑recovery, using advanced deduplication to reduce storage needs by up to 90% or more. It integrates with leading backup software via a standard NAS interface and supports VMware environments with Quantum esXpress backup software.
