CLOUD-BASED DATA PROTECTION SOLUTIONS

NAS AND DISK SOLUTIONS

Business-Class Backup and DR: Current cloud options typically do not provide the scalability, critical SLAs or the security that businesses require. Q-Cloud™ is a secure, low-cost cloud data protection solution that is simple to deploy, integrates with your existing environment, and reduces cost, complexity and risk for IT departments with a convenient option to efficiently replicate their data to the cloud.

Cost Efficiency: The Quantum Q-Cloud subscription-based solution gives both large and small customers business-class data protection and recovery at a consumer cloud price point. Taking advantage of Quantum’s patented deduplication technology, Q-Cloud can be delivered at a consumer cloud price point.

Simple Integration: Q-Cloud works with your existing environment today, which means you don’t need to get rid of your existing data protection infrastructure. Q-Cloud protects both physical and virtual environments, and is scalable from 1TB up to more than 1PB, allowing your business to stay flexible for future technologies and avoid vendor lock-in.

Back up locally to a Quantum DXi using your traditional backup application and replicate an exact copy to a DXi in the cloud. This has the following benefits:

- Minimize the backup window by using the throughput available in the local environment.

- Provide a local copy in the event a restore is required. - Replicate only compressed unique data to the cloud, thereby

minimizing both network bandwidth and cloud storage space requirements.

- Assure the availability of an offsite cloud copy that is identical to the original. That cloud copy can be failed back to the original customer premise or anywhere else the end user might need it.
