    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.

    IBM Rational ClearCase might be better suited for a smaller / simpler code base. Larger code bases really slow it down... but then again there are better alternatives out there for source control

    Pros
    Quantum
    • A perfect solution for D2D backups. We are seeing a large savings with the de-duplication piece.
    • Very versatile device. We like being able to use any backup protocol we need to for the many diverse jobs we have in the medical industry.
    • Interface is simple and easy to use.

    • Rational ClearCase is excellent for handling versioning and branching. No other tool I've used has the depth that ClearCase has when it comes to handling complex branching scenarios and identifying where certain versions of particular files are within a particular configuration.
    • Rational ClearCase handles parallel development of many dependent applications really well.
    • The use of ClearCase Views to switch between projects and configurations is extremely convenient as opposed to the local workstation model of the competitors.

    Cons
    Quantum
    • 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

    Quantum
    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.

    If development is centrallized to one location and your company releases hundreds of customized versions of your software per year, then ClearCase is the best tool for managing the complexity of multiple versions of customized software. If your company has globally distributed development, then I'd recommend Team Foundation Server over ClearCase. If your organization uses Agile Methodologies, then I'd recommend TFS with GIT.

    • Managed code versioning for many years.
    • Only one person can edit code at a time - slows processing down.
    • IBM is an expensive product to support.
