Quantum Corp. has announced a new cloud-based backup and disaster recovery (DR) subscription service. Q-Cloud provides business-class data protection at a consumer cloud storage price. Enterprise customers can leverage Q-Cloud’s simple, secure and flexible approach for as little as 1 cent/GB/month. Incorporating Quantum’s patented deduplication technology, Q-Cloud provides backup of both physical and virtual infrastructures for capacities ranging from 1TB up to 1PB of protected data. With Q-Cloud, Quantum extends the industry’s most comprehensive range of data protection solutions available, spanning from the data center to the enterprise edge and now to the cloud.
Jason Buffington, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, said, “Quantum has focussed on enabling better backups through deduplication methodologies, as well as virtualization-optimized data protection mechanisms. For DXi owners, Q-Cloud has the potential to radically disrupt the presumed economics of cloud-based backup and disaster-recovery – making BaaS and DRaaS viable options for folks who might have otherwise thought it unachievable.”
Henrik Rosendahl, Senior Vice-President, Cloud Solutions, Quantum, said, “Q-Cloud takes cloud-based data protection for enterprises to the next level. After years spent optimizing our deduplication technology, we are now applying this technique to dramatically lower the cost of cloud storage for backup and DR. With Q-Cloud, patented deduplication, vmPRO software and end-to-end data security, Quantum is delivering the most innovative and comprehensive solutions available for next-generation data protection.”
