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 />
