SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today highlighted its significant market momentum in
disk-based backup and deduplication, as both existing and new
customers increasingly deploy the company's DXi®
appliances to address their changing data protection requirements.
In the first nine months of Quantum's fiscal year (April 1-Dec. 31, 2016), overall product and
related service revenue from disk backup sales grew 14 percent over
the same period a year earlier, with revenue from enterprise DXi
products up 62 percent.
According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Purpose-Built Backup
Appliance Tracker, Quantum was also among the top five largest
deduplication providers and one of only two companies in the top
five that generated year-over-year growth in the third calendar
quarter of 2016. In addition, Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com
has selected the DXi6900-S as a finalist for the 2016 Products of
the Year awards in the Data Backup Hardware category. Quantum's
deduplication leadership is further reflected in its broad and
expanding customer base around the world, which includes numerous
Fortune 500 companies and other organizations such as Hawaii State
Department of Health, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment,
Oxford University Press, OSI Food, The
Salvation Army, University of Bristol, University of San Diego and West Australian
News.

Enterprises Coping With Growth Adopt DXi6900-S With Flash
Technology
One of the recent drivers of Quantum's
deduplication market momentum is the DXi6900-S. Introduced only
five months ago, the new appliance is designed for large,
multi-site data protection environments, where customers are
confronting the challenges of backing up mission-critical databases
and other digital assets under increasingly tighter backup windows
and more demanding business requirements.
By leveraging SSDs for metadata operations, the DXi6900-S
delivers ultra-fast ingest, read, replication and space reclamation
performance. It was also the first deduplication appliance to
incorporate 8TB self-encrypting drives, providing the highest
density backup available — up to 544TB (useable) in 18U of rack
space, or 10PB of logical storage at a 20:1 deduplication ratio. In
addition, the DXi6900-S is significantly more efficient than other
deduplication appliances, consuming 50 percent less power than
competitive offerings. All these advantages have resulted in quick
customer adoption of DXi6900-S and reinforced the overall strength
of Quantum's DXi product line.
