Quantum introduces Storage Vision

Mumbai

August 24th, 2007

Quantum announced StorageCare Vision, extending its line of intelligent data
management solutions. StorageCare Vision works together with Quantum's iLayer
tape automation system management and StorageCare Guardian backup system remote
monitoring application to automate the management of a customer's entire data
protection environment, including disk and tape systems, through a single user
interface. The new tool offers increased data availability and uptime by
automating and centralizing status monitoring, capacity utilization reporting,
alerting and diagnostics across a user's global backup infrastructure.

Quantum's StorageCare Vision enables customers to effectively manage their
data protection infrastructure across distributed environments; especially in
remote or branch offices where data protection processes and IT support is
limited. Quantum disk backup systems and automated tape libraries can be linked
via a single, global management console to allow centralized visibility across
tiers of backup, restore, archive and disaster recovery processes.

The StorageCare Vision provides centralized, end-to-end management of Quantum
disk systems and tape libraries, as well as popular SAN switches and backup
software applications; reports immediately on the success of backups and
aggregates event reporting for faster troubleshooting, minimizing costly
downtime and delivers valuable performance metrics via hundreds of packaged
reports or customized ones that help administrators increase utilization,
identify bottlenecks, balance resources and manage growth.

StorageCare Vision is available now through Quantum and its distribution
partners. It runs on Windows 2000/2003 Server and supports Solaris, Linux, AIX
and HPUX operating systems and several popular software packages, such as EMC
Legato NetWorker, Symantec Veritas NetBackup and Backup Exec, and Tivoli Storage
Manager. Supported systems include Quantum's DXi-Series disk backup and
replication family featuring data de-duplication, DX-Series disk-based backup
systems and appliances, Scalar iPlatform tape libraries, and PX-Series tape
libraries, in addition to popular switches from Cisco, Brocade and McData.
