Lowest Cost Disk-to-Tape or Disk-to-Disk-to-Disk Data Protection

ExaGrid's innovative approach minimizes the amount of data to be stored by providing standard data compression for the most recent back ups, along with byte level data deduplication for all previous backups. ExaGrid's post-process deduplication technology stores changes from backup to backup instead of storing full file copies. This unique approach reduces the disk space required by at least 10, and up to 50 to 1, delivering unparalleled performance for the fastest backups and restores, all in a solution that costs the same as a new tape library.

ExaGrid EX Series Product Line

ExaGrid's disk-based backup with deduplication product line revolutionizes how organizations backup and protect their data. By leveraging your current backup application and replacing tape in your nightly backup process, ExaGrid's simple, turnkey appliance can:

*  Reduce the disk space required by at least 10:1, and up to 50:1

*  Shorten your backup window by 30-90%, ensuring all of your data is fully protected

*  Improve your disaster recovery plan through off-site disk-based retention of your data

*  Reduce the amount of time your IT staff spends on managing backups

*  Scale easily and cost-effectively with your data growth

*  Fully protect your virtualized environment

*  Reduce other costs associated with tape-based backup

ExaGrid's disk backup appliances work seamlessly with the industry's leading backup applications, and the appliance typically installs in about one hour. The product line's six appliance models can be combined into a GRID configuration for environments of up to 100TB.

Each model is rated for a full backup size plus months of retention. For example, a 5TB ExaGrid server (EX5000) can store a 5TB full backup (5TB of primary data) plus up to 16 weeks of retention/history. If a 100TB system is required, then ten EX10000Es are used and virtualize into a single, GRID-based system.

6 Mix-and-Match Servers

Because of ExaGrid's unique Landing Zone Architecture, each model has roughly twice the amount of useable disk to the size of the full backup it can land and store.
