Quantum's new removable disk system with data reduction technology for SME market now available

Open standards-based Quantum RDX delivers backup, disaster recovery and archiving for SMEs.

Quantum Africa, the leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, announced availability of Quantum RDX, a removable disk-based data protection system that leverages data reduction technology to decrease cartridge requirements by up to 20:1.

Ideal for small-to medium-sized businesses, the non-proprietary Quantum RDX system offers removable disk cartridges for onsite and offsite storage to cost effectively meet data backup, disaster recovery and archiving requirements. This flexible and easy-to-use disk system can serve as a replacement for low-end tape devices, such as DDS/DAT.

The entry-level Quantum RDX system includes a dock (USB tabletop, SATA or USB internal versions), removable cartridges and Quantum GoProtect backup software for Windows. Quantum GoProtect data reduction technology eliminates redundant data, thereby decreasing the number of cartridges required for effective backups.

"The simplicity, speed and interoperability of the Quantum RDX system make it an ideal, cost-effective backup solution for SME customers that like the portability of their current tape devices, but also want the performance advantages of disk," said Rudi Jansen van Vuuren, Quantum Africa Country Manager.

Open standards-based RDX cartridges are sold separately in 160GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB capacities to enable customers to grow and customise their storage needs. Each cartridge contains a rugged 2.5-inch mobile hard drive in a highly effective shock-resistant mounting that is read and write compatible and interchangeable with any RDX dock.

Quantum's GoProtect software offers integrated protection plans that can be quickly set up with just a few mouse clicks, while data restores can be easily done with drag and drop functionality through Windows Explorer.

The Quantum RDX system is available now from Quantum, Sithabile Storage Integration and selected distributors.
