2. Possibly, the most efficient, low cost, high performance
deduplication solution available. Right now, duplicate data is like
stealing time and money from your customers’ organizations.
This redundant data makes both storage and protection more costly,
more time-consuming, and less efficient. The new DXi4700 series
appliance from Quantum can dramatically reduce this redundant
data and the costs associated with it.
The DXi4700 series appliance sets the industry benchmark for efficiency,
scalability and cost/TB, offering unprecedented flexibility, ease-of-use
and investment protection for entry to midrange office environments.
If your customers have yet to adopt disk-based backup, or are looking
at trading up from an existing system, then Quantum’s new DXi4700 is
the solution they’ve been waiting for! Start the sales conversation today
and take your customers’ backups to the next level.

3. Ruthlessly efficient
data reduplication
The DXi4700 speeds up backup and recovery
while reducing costs.
The ruthless efficiency of the DXi4700 will delight
your customers. Quantum’s patented variable-
length data deduplication technology reduces
typical disk requirements by 90 percent or more,
cutting overall costs and making disk a cost-
effective alternative to tape for backup.
Less data to backup translates into faster backups,
quicker restores, and the ability to retain data on disk
for longer. DXi customers report an average 125 percent
increase in backup performance, fewer failed backup
jobs, and typical disk capacity savings of 10–30x.

Plus, users can reduce removable media purchase
expenses by nearly one-half, while cutting overall
backup management time – all with a typical four-
to six-month payback on investment.
What’s more, data deduplication reduces network
bandwidth needs, making it practical to use replication
over standard WANs for disaster recovery. The ability
to replicate between DXi’s, or to the cloud, means a
reliable disaster recovery solution is now an option
for any site within a customer’s organization.

4. The deduplication capacity you need,
when you need it.
Pay-as-you grow scalability from
5TB to 135TB.
The DXi Series appliances are the industry’s only
appliances that offer capacity-on-demand, enabling
your customers to start small and scale larger as
their backup requirements grow.
Since the DXi4700 base appliance and expansion modu-
les are prepopulated with disk capacity, IT managers
can simply license additional capacity when it is
needed. This capacity-on-demand capability enables
non-disruptive management of growth, eliminating
the cost of a service visit or rack reconfiguration.
Additionally, the DXi4700 scales all the way from 5TB
to an impressive 135TB of usable capacity, delivering
a single platform to support all entry to midrange
configurations. Once a customer’s initial unit is full,
expansion modules can be added, each providing up
to 36TB of additional capacity.
As a partner, capacity upgrades will provide you with
a recurring revenue stream, either from the simple
license upgrades that turn on additional capacity, or
from the sale of disk expansion modules.
