Quantum Launches GO Refresh Service for DXi T-Series

Quantum Corporation announced the availability of Quantum GO Refresh for the DXi T-Series, a program that provides flexible payment options and hardware refreshes to help customers immutably protect and quickly recover mission-critical data and IT infrastructure to overcome the ever-present threat of ransomware and other cyber-attacks.

Quantum GO Refresh, an offering within the Quantum GO portfolio, offers a turnkey subscription model paid quarterly or annually for the company’s DXi all-flash T-Series backup appliances that includes the typical hardware, software, and support that the firm’s customers have come to expect and adds a new dimension of ongoing hardware refreshes as the solution ages. This makes it easy for customers to deploy backup and data protection solutions that reduce upfront costs under a simple ‘everything included’ subscription model and enables aggressive adoption of all-flash data protection and fast recovery across organizations of all sizes.

“With Quantum GO Refresh for DXi T-Series, we’re making enterprise-grade data protection and cyber resilience more accessible and predictable with a low-cost, yet powerful, future-proof solution,” said Willem Dirven, COO, Quantum. “By offering a simple subscription model that includes hardware refreshes, customers can focus on their business priorities without worrying about upfront investments or unexpected costs as hardware platforms go end of service. This is a game-changer for organizations looking to enhance cyber resilience with a flexible, cost-effective, forever-ready solution.”

Traditional data protection methods have been highly reliant on low-cost cloud storage and HDD-based backup targets that are storage-inefficient, limit data accessibility, and result in slow restore times exactly when data recovery is most urgent. Further, deployments are hampered by significant capital outlays and unpredictable networking and egress costs. GO Refresh for DXi T-Series simplifies DXi T-Series procurement, deployment, and ongoing hardware maintenance, enabling on-premises, pay-as-you-go solutions that provide high-performance access and fast recovery of immutable data copies stored on local, all-flash DXi T-Series systems. The new GO Refresh for DXi gives customers the convenience of unlimited software and hardware refreshes under a subscription model, so organizations can focus on scaling their business without having to worry about hardware and software renewals.
