Overview
The Quantum DXi T-Series is a high-performance all-flash backup and deduplication appliance line tailored for modern enterprise data protection across edge, core, and distributed environments. It offers compact 1U form factor designs with NVMe storage, delivering fast ingest and restore performance, efficiency through deduplication, replication, and cloud tiering. The T-Series scales from 15 TB up to 480 TB usable capacity, allowing organizations to start small and grow as data demands increase.
These appliances are engineered for resilience against cyber threats, with support for immutable snapshots, built-in encryption, and replication across sites. The T-Series aligns to hybrid, edge-to-core-to-cloud architectures, and integrates with contemporary backup software and workflows.
Key Features
- All-flash NVMe architecture with ultra-low latency for both ingest and recovery
- High throughput performance (up to 113 TB/hour ingest in optimal configurations)
- Inline deduplication and compression to maximize storage efficiency
- Capacity-on-Demand licensing: scale usable capacity in place without hardware replacement
- Replication across DXi systems for disaster recovery and offsite backup
- Immutable snapshots / Secure Snapshot to protect backups from alteration or deletion
- Cloud-tiering (DXi Cloud Share) to extend logical capacity via S3-compatible storage
- Multi-protocol access: NAS (CIFS/NFS), OST (OpenStorage API), VTL emulation, mixed mode
- Non-disruptive expansion and software upgrades
- Comprehensive security: encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls
- Monitoring, analytics, and integrated system health tools
