    It is good hardware/software to do VMWare backup, very reliable and convenient device. Hyper-V backup may be less appropriate to do due to specific software needs.

    • Every feature on the Quantum requires a license purchase, this is seriously annoying and drives the cost of the device up
    • The cost of the device is somewhat high
    • Active Directory integration is a bit of a pain

    If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.

    Support from Quantum was okay, they performed FW upgrade and replaced few faulty disks without any problem. Some old-style connections and requirements from them produced additional loads on our IT team.

    The only aleternative looked at prior to the DXi was ExGrid, while both are great options the DXi offered a little more versatility and the support has been terrific.
