Specifically tuned for efficient point-in-time performance, the DPM5500 offers a complete data protection solution that delivers increased replication opportunities resulting in greater restore granularity. Integrated features such as the installation wizard and StorageCare Guardian lower total cost of ownership while tape migration capabilities support disaster recovery best practices and enable customers to frame their tiered storage environments. Together, Quantum’s value-added features and Microsoft Data Protection Manager 2006 deliver backup and restore benefits that no other company can deliver today.

The Quantum DPM5500 appliance combines:

• Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2006
• Performance tuned media server
• Tape archive software
• World-class service and support

The DPM5500 builds upon the Microsoft Data Protection Manager 2006 value proposition through a sophisticated, yet easy-to-implement 5U (rack-unit) appliance with a choice of 6 or 12 terabyte capacity and RAID 5 protection. The appliance can be easily integrated into the network via dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and TOE (TCP/IP offload engine) capabilities. Enterprise-class features such as redundant and hot-swappable fans, hot-swap disk drives and redundant power offer high availability. By offering these features within an appliance, Quantum alleviates the guesswork and time involved by customers in building a system from disparate pieces.
