help Quantum DXi FAQ
What is Quantum DXi?
Quantum DXi is a family of disk-based backup appliances and software-defined backup targets. It is used to receive backup data, deduplicate it, compress it, and retain recovery copies.
How does deduplication help a DXi system?
Deduplication stores repeated blocks only once, which can reduce the physical capacity needed for multiple backup versions. It can also reduce the amount of data sent across a network when replicated, although the result depends on the workload.
Is Quantum DXi primary storage for everyday applications?
DXi is designed mainly as backup and recovery infrastructure, not as the main storage array for transactional databases or general user files. It works with backup software that sends protected data to the DXi target.
Can Quantum DXi replicate backups to another site?
Many DXi configurations support replication to another DXi system for off-site disaster recovery. The exact supported method and licensing depend on the DXi model, software version, and backup environment.
