Overall Satisfaction with Quantum DXi Series

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.
  • 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.
  • Really positive ROI, backup and DR are running well.
  • Works as expected.
  • Price for support and maintenance mostly suits our expectations.
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 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.

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.
