Quantum's New Deduplication Appliance Offers Best-in-Class Scalability, Density and Cost per TB With Pay-as-You-Grow Model -----
DXi4700 Provides 5 TB to 135 TB Usable Capacity in Single Platform -----
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 21, 2014) - Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced the new DXi4700 Series deduplication appliances, which deliver broad and simple scalability with an industry-leading cost per TB. The first model in the series, the DXi4701, offers an expansive usable capacity range from 5 TB to 135 TB and is the only deduplication appliance available today providing capacity-on-demand with 4 TB high density disk drives. The DXi4700 Series provides an easy "pay-as-you-grow" deduplication solution, while offering security, performance and value features that make it a particularly good fit in the datacenter, hosted environments and remote sites. -----
An Efficient, Scalable and Easy-to-Use Extension for the DXi4000 Series
Closely following the introduction of the DXi V4000 virtual deduplication appliance, the DXi4700 extends the DXi4000 Series' low-cost physical and virtual backup options and offers a number of distinct advantages over the competition: -----
Highest Efficiency: The DXi4700 enables significant power and footprint savings -- up to 42 percent lower power consumption and a 192 percent denser footprint than the leading competitive offering. This makes the DXi4700 an ideal choice for managed services providers and anyone concerned with energy costs and datacenter space.
Pay-as-You-Grow Scalability: The DXi4700 is the only deduplication appliance available with 4 TB self-encrypting drives (SEDs) that scales in license-based increments of usable storage, thereby providing simple, predictable and easy-to-install storage capacity. -----
Ease-of-Use: Like other DXi®-Series appliances, the DXi4700 features install wizards, graphical reporting and replication scheduling, as well as NAS to VTL presentations and 1 GbE to 10 GbE connectivity, enabling users to easily install, configure and upgrade the system within hours. -----
Industry-Leading Value: With the lowest cost per TB, the DXi4700 enables a quick return on investment, while providing up to 5 TB per hour native performance. Like all DXi-Series offerings, the DXi4700 also includes all software licenses in its base price: NAS, VTL or OST, deduplication, replication and DXi Accent® software for distributed deduplication. -----
Enterprise-Class Data Availability: The DXi4700 provides reliable recovery and access through data integrity checking, new hot spare capability and the ability to replicate offsite to multiple DXi appliances or Quantum's Q-Cloud™. -----
Comprehensive Data Security: SEDs protect against breaches of data at rest without degrading performance, unlike software-based encryption which can suffer a 25 to 30 percent performance impact when enabled. Data is encrypted during replication using an AES 256-bit algorithm to remain secure in flight. -----

"Businesses like ours increasingly depend on keeping data secure and available when they need it most -- no matter their architecture, scale or location. In our experience the DXi-Series provides investment protection with a scalability range that addresses the ever-increasing growth of data." -----
Robert Amatruda, research director, IDC
"SMB customers need cost-effective, scalable and flexible storage solutions that provide key features such as deduplication. Quantum's DXi4700 provides them with a pay-as-you-grow capacity licensing approach and eliminates the uncertainty from capacity planning for IT managers." -----
Robert Clark, senior vice president, Product Operations, Quantum
"One way customers are rethinking their approach to backup and archive is in the area of multi-site backup. For example, customers are increasingly combining on-premise backup with off-premise cloud for data protection. The DXi4700 is an ideal solution both for customers and managed service providers seeking to reduce the cost and complexity of backup, enabling a quick return on investment by providing the lowest cost per TB and a scalable platform to meet user needs from small remote sites to the datacenter." -----
