Q-Cloud Protect is a virtual deduplication appliance that works with Quantum DXi systems to provide a hybrid-cloud backup and disaster recovery solution. For companies with a single site looking to protect their business against localized disasters, companies looking to eliminate tape for offsite protection, or companies looking for a hybrid-cloud approach to backup and DR, Q-Cloud Protect was designed to meet your needs. This solution uses variable-length deduplication to reduce storage and data transmission costs by 90%, is compatible with all leading backup applications, and securely replicates deduplicated data between your datacenter and the Amazon cloud. All backups are stored locally for easy recovery, and backups can be recovered from the Amazon cloud in the event of a local disaster.
