Introducing QoreStor
Introducing Quest® QoreStor™
Quest® QoreStor™ is a software-defined secondary storage platform based on Quest’s proven DR Appliance’s resilient deduplication and replication technologies. With QoreStor, you can break free of backup appliances and accelerate backup performance, reduce storage requirements and costs, and replicate safer and faster to the cloud for data archiving, disaster recovery and business continuity.
QoreStor supports all of the major backup software applications in use today and can lower your backup storage costs to as little as $.16/GB while reducing your total cost of ownership.QoreStor achieves these results using patented Rapid technology as well as built-in, variable block-based deduplication and compression.
Lower costs and maximize the return on your IT investment by leveraging virtually any storage hardware, virtualization platform or cloud provider. QoreStor also supports many backup software solutions — so it’s not just for Quest. Simple to deploy and easy to manage, QoreStor enables you to shrink replication time, improve data security and address compliance requirements.
QoreStor helps you to:
- Reduce on-premises and cloud storage costs with industry-leading deduplication and compression.
- Accelerate backup completion with protocol accelerators and dedupe.
- Shrink replication time by transmitting only changed data.
- Improve data security and comply with FIPS 140-2.
- Maximize return on investment for existing data protection technologies.
- Lower total cost of ownership through all-inclusive licensing.
QoreStor includes the following features:
- Hardware and software agnostic platform
- Next-generation storage dedupe engine
