Overview
The DX30 addresses the most significant backup challenges facing IT
professionals: the time required for backups, confidence in creating complete
backups and time to restore data. The DX30 enhances an existing tape backup
system by separating the backup target from the backup archive. The DX30
utilizes the inherent strengths of disk (quick access, high-speed data
transfer, and RAID protection) to improve backup functions. As a result, your
tape library can use its strengths (low cost, ability to write large block
sizes, removable media, and archival stability) to concentrate on what it does
best — archival data storage.
Here's how it works — after installing a DX30, backup jobs are done directly
to the DX30 (the backup target) increasing backup speeds in excess of
216GB/hour. The software platform designed into the DX30 precisely emulates a
tape library (with two to six tape drives), allowing your backup software to
function without modification. The DX30 uses RAID-protected disks to increase
your confidence (beyond 99%) that the backup has been completed correctly and
can be restored when needed.
