Benefits of Deploying ExaGrid Disk Backup with Deduplication
ExaGrid backup systems are designed to meet the needs of companies backing up between 1TB and 130TB of data in a single system. ExaGrid’s unique performance-based GRID architecture is the only disk backup approach with deduplication that scales with full servers, adding both compute power and capacity, resulting in the shortest backup window that does not expand as data grows, all while eliminating forklift upgrades and product obsolescence.
Only ExaGrid permanently shortens backup windows, permanently protects budgets, and permanently provides reliable high-quality performance. ExaGrid’s unique approach to disk-based backup delivers all the performance, reliability and security benefits of backing up to disk, at a cost that rivals the price of tape.
ExaGrid customers achieve the fastest backup times because: data is written directly to disk; data deduplication is performed post-process after the data is stored; and most importantly ExaGrid adds full servers which include processor, memory, disk and bandwidth versus just adding disk. This unique approach ensures that the backup window does not re-explode as it would with other approaches. In addition, ExaGrid’s GRID scalability enables organizations to store up to a 130TB full backup plus retention. Performance scales with data growth since processing power, memory and bandwidth are added along with storage capacity, and data loads are automatically balanced across all servers.
