The DXi7500 is the disk backup solution for distributed and enterprise environments that allows users to add policy-based de-duplication, remote replication and direct tape creation to their backup strategy to increase performance, enhance data protection and reduce costs. The DXi7500 uses Quantum’s patented data de-duplication technology to reduce disk requirements by 90% or more and make WAN-based replication a practical, DR tool. Scalable to 240TB raw capacity, the Quantum DXi7500 is designed for larger sites and corporate data centers.
- Scales from 12 to 240TB raw capacity
- Data de-duplication and multi-site remote replication compatible with DXi3500 and DXi5500 models
- High performance (up to 8TB per hour) provides enterprise scale protection
- High availability architecture eliminates all single points of failure

Quantum DXi 7500 Product Details
Advanced Data De-duplication Increasing Disk Retention for Backup Data
The DXi7500 leverages Quantum’s patented data de-duplication technology to dramatically increase the role that disk can play in the protection of critical data. With the DXi7500 solution, users can reduce disk requirements by 90% or more and make WAN-based replication a practical DR tool allowing IT departments to cost-effectively retain months of backup data on disk for faster, more reliable restores and more data recovery points.
Remote Replication of Backup Data Providing Automated Disaster Recovery Protection
With the benefits of de-duplication, DXi7500 users can transmit backup data from a single or multiple remote sites equipped with any other DXi-Series model to a central, secure location to reduce or eliminate media handling. DXi–Series replication is asynchronous, automated, encrypted and it operates as a background process.
Enterprise Features Provide Secure, Centralized Repository
Up to 240TB native capacity, 8TB/hour performance with active-active architecture to eliminate all single points of failure. Quantum’s policy-based de-duplication gives users the option to choose different de-duplication approaches for different datasets, providing optimal value for the widest range of data protection environments. Presentations include both VTL (Fibre Channel and iSCSI) and NAS (CIFS and NFS). Integrated tape creation writes physical media directly over dedicated Fibre Channel connections, and supports ISV direct tape creation, including Symantec’s NetBackup 6.5 “Direct to Tape” option.
Redundancy built in to all DXi7500 units
- Dual RAID controllers with active-active failover
- Switch port & cabling failover
- Dual redundant AC and DC power
- Dual redundant cooling
- Hot replaceable components
Dual-node units eliminate all single points of failure
- Dual DXi controllers provide full redundancy
- Active-active failover for all hardware
Quantum’s DXI-Series disk backup solutions leverage data de-duplication technology to reduce disk requirements by 90% or more and make WAN-based replication a practical DR tool. All models are connected by a common technology base, replication capability, and management layer. This allows IT departments to connect all their sites in a comprehensive data protection strategy that boosts backup performance, and reduces or eliminates media handling.
Backup replication means automated DR and reduced media management
Replication with de-duplication sends only new blocks—reduces bandwidth requirements by 90% or more
- Provides automated, encrypted asynchronous background process
- Intuitive GUI-based set-up & management
- De-duplicates data across multiple sites—before data is sent!
- Bi-directional protection— units can be both source and target
- Replication target can also provide local backup
