Quantum’s vmPRO software provides a unique<br />
solution for the data center needing to integrate<br />
VM protection. It works as a turnkey solution, or in<br />
combination with users’ existing backup applications,<br />
in conjunction with DXi appliances to simplify and<br />
accelerate backup, restore and DR protection for<br />
virtual machine environments.
Cloud-Based Data Protection Solutions<br />
Until now, data center managers wanting to protect data<br />
in the cloud had two basic options. Either they had to<br />
choose storage array-based replication to and from the<br />
cloud that provided fast backup and disaster recovery, but<br />
made it extremely expensive to implement. Or, they’ve<br />
had to choose cloud-only solutions which were less costly<br />
to implement, but demanded a rip-and-replace approach<br />
and made the process of restores very slow.<br />
Quantum’s cloud-based data protection technology<br />
platform changes all that. We’re providing the best of<br />
breed—highly optimized, low-cost cloud-based data<br />
protection that is simple to deploy, provides integration<br />
to your existing tools, and allows for efficient<br />
disaster recovery.<br />
Private Cloud – Simplicity of Deployment<br />
The all software, all virtual appliance approach for both vmPRO and DXi V1000, provides the ability for customers to utilize their existing<br />
infrastructure and the inherent values of virtual machine attributes. This lightweight elegance, combined with the powerful nature of data<br />
reduction technologies, brings disaster recovery of physical and virtual data to any size organization.<br />
Public Cloud – Optimized Backup<br />
The unique combination of vmPRO and DXi V1000 provides up to 95% data reduction of your virtual and physical data sets giving you<br />
maximum disk efficiencies locally and in cloud-based deployments. With replication features built in, this dramatically reduces the amount of<br />
telco connection required to get data offsite and required storage in the cloud.<br />
Hybrid Cloud – Future-Proof Flexibility<br />
Quantum’s data protection portfolio works with your existing environment today and wherever you may be headed in the future. Whether you<br />
are looking for a mix of disk, tape and cloud or any combination, it is your choice and Quantum will be with you every step of the way.<br />
