Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Quantum DXi only in Australia. It is the main backup storage for our virtual environment. Backup and replication to DR site are an everyday activity which is completely covered under the Quantum solution. We have 3 units and backup software which are doing snapshots backup for 100+ VMs.
Pros and Cons
  • Backup and replication for VMs are going well with our Quantum DXi solution.
  • Deduplication level is great, the GUI informative and well placed.
  • Differential backup replicated properly and fast to DR site.
  • Cost of licenses to unlock free space should be better.
  • Life circle of storage will be longer for my expectation.
  • Space reclamation should be improved.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Return on Investment
  • Really positive ROI, backup and DR are running well.
  • Works as expected.
  • Price for support and maintenance mostly suits our expectations.
Alternatives Considered
Cost effective and performance were the main reasons why we took Quantum DXi. Software and cloud solution may be better for us right now. We are going to find some new ways to do backup and DR properly.
Support Rating
8
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.

Quantum DXi as a Storage Target for Netbackup

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is being used as a backup target for our backup environment and it also connects to our Quantum i6k tape library for backups. We use PTT or path to tape to offload our images from the DXi to our I6k this is the fastest method we have found because the images come directly from the DXi to the tape library.
Pros and Cons
  • It compacts data very well , we have 2.4 petabytes sitting on 240tb
  • It runs constantly typically without any major issues even after a reboot
  • The auto firmware update feature works well
  • Support is usually very good
  • 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
Likelihood to Recommend
The Quantum DXi is a great storage target and it does deduplication of data very well. The storage array is typically a rock solid running array, meaning there would be very few issues and it just kind of chuggs along. We still have an old DXi 6700 and it is still up and running. We are currently using a DXi 6900s and it is very fast.
Return on Investment
  • Storage Target for data that can be Deduped
  • Using accent to do inline dedupe is great
  • Works well with netbackup accelerator and netbackup
Alternatives Considered
The Quantum DXi competes very well against all of these devices and they all have ups and downs. The netbackup appliance is very affordable for the amount of storage that you get, Dell's version of a storage target had horrible deduplication and was not efficient for the use of a storage target.
Support Rating
10
The actual support personnel and the support provided is very good, and they are typically very responsive to any request that come in. We have never had a bad support experience. All support has been based in America and have always been able to resolve any issues or problems that have come up. the automated call home feature works well.
