Representing the next generation of disk-based data protection

software with Quantum's StorNext 5 technology at its core, thereby

workflows, providing faster backups, restores and replication while
easing the strain on network bandwidth and reducing overall
operating expenses. Other benefits include capacity-on-demand
licensing, enabling customers to scale from 17TB to 510TB (usable)
via a simple licensing key, and easier multisite data protection
through simple setup configuration wizards, detailed resource
utilization reporting and chargeback information. In addition, when
combined with Quantum's Q-Cloud™ Protect services, the DXi6900
allows users to build data protection workflows that extend across
sites and to the cloud.
For this year's Storage Awards, more than 50,000 votes were cast
in total by more than 10,000 readers, setting a new record.
