Quantum Certified vRanger Pro Software

Quantum Corp. has certified Quest Software Inc. vRanger Pro software with
the Quantum DXi V1000 virtual deduplication appliance for intelligent data
protection in VMware environments.

The 100% virtual solution provides vRanger
customers enterprise backup and DR and is
designed to maximise protection while minimising costs. The DXi V1000 joins
other DXi-Series physical deduplication appliances already certified with
vRanger – including the DXi4500 (SMB), DXi6700 family (midrange and enterprise)
and DXi8500 (enterprise) – extending the Quantum-Quest joint solutions.

Both
companies demonstrated their integrated offerings at VMworld 2012,
August 26-30 in San Francisco.

Reducing Redundant Data for Backup and DR:

• Quest and Quantum are
  collaborating to deliver joint solutions that reduce redundant data storage
  during the backup and DR process.

• Quest vRanger Pro supports
  backups targeted to NAS disk devices. The DXi-Series adds deduplication and
  replication capabilities on top of vRanger Pro functionality.

• The DXi V1000 provides the functionality of the DXi-Series appliances in 100% VM-based
  software, thereby combining the power and flexibility of target-based
  deduplication with simplicity of an integrated virtual
  appliance.

• With the combination of vRanger’s patented Active Block Mapping, VMware’s Changed Block Tracking and DXi’s inline data deduplication, only new, updated, and undeleted
  segments of data are stored, thus minimising storage requirements while
  ensuring recovery time and point objectives are met.
