Overview

The DXi8500 Enterprise offers industry-leading performance, up to 14.2TB/hour, and advanced deduplication technology that reduces typical disk and bandwidth requirements by 90% or more.

Scaling from 45 to 330TB of usable capacity with 3TB self-encrypting drives in a single rack, the DXi8500 presents the industry's widest range of presentation options, including deduplication-enabled VTL, CIFS, NFS, and OST, as well as native-mode (non-deduplicating) VTL and NAS shares. All interfaces can be supported simultaneously in the same unit to provide maximum configuration options for heterogeneous environments. The DXi8500 features an integrated path to tape for both VTL and OST presentations, providing a direct link to physical tape libraries for both short-term protection and long-term retention.

The DXi8500 supports high performance data center backup and anchors a multi-site, multi-tier protection strategy. Replication, VTL, OST, direct tape creation, and DXi Accent software licenses are included in the base appliance price.
