Intelligent Backup Storage Built to Outpace Ransomware
ExaGrid delivers a unique Tiered Backup Storage solution combining a high-speed disk-cache Landing Zone for the fastest backups, restores and instant VM recoveries, with a cost-efficient Repository Tier designed for long-term retention. Its scale-out architecture grows with your data through full appliances, maintaining a fixed-length backup window and eliminating costly forklift upgrades or forced obsolescence.
What sets ExaGrid apart is its two-tiered approach to ransomware resilience, featuring a non-network-facing tier (tiered air gap), delayed deletes and immutable objects, all reinforced by AI-Powered Retention Time-Lock. Together, these capabilities ensure businesses can recover quickly and confidently from any ransomware attack.
ExaGrid's Key Solutions and Services
Pay-As-You-Grow Model
Any ExaGrid appliance can be mixed and matched in the same scale-out system regardless of size or age, allowing customers to buy what they need as they need it. This approach supports up to 32 appliances in a single scale-out system, making it easy to expand without disruption.
Massive Storage Capacity
Multiple systems can be deployed in a single site to support full backups up to petabytes. The largest HDD scale-out system handles up to 6PB, while the largest SSD scale-out system reaches up to 17.3PB, offering the largest single scale-out system storage capacity available on the backup storage market.
Simplified Management
All appliances and systems are managed through a single user interface, regardless of the number of appliances or their age and size, ensuring consistent and straightforward oversight across the entire deployment.
Broad Compatibility & Performance
ExaGrid works with over 25 backup applications including Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, NetBackup and Cohesity, among others. Its unique approach delivers the fastest backups, restores, VM boots, offsite tape copies, copy jobs and AUX copies.
The ExaGrid Advantage
ExaGrid’s scale-out approach provides the following benefits:
-
No Expansion of Backup Windows as Data Grows – By adding full appliances, ExaGrid maintains consistently fast backup performance and a fixed-length backup window as data increases.
-
Seamless Scalability with No Forklift Upgrades – ExaGrid’s scale-out approach avoids forklift upgrades by adding modular capacity with full servers to the existing system -
No Obsolescence of Previous Model Systems – All ExaGrid appliances can be seamlessly added to any existing ExaGrid deployment and can be mixed and matched with older appliances of any size, thereby eliminating planned product obsolescence. Note: A single system can consist of up to 32 HDD appliances of various ages or sizes, or 32 SSD appliances of any age or size, but must be homogenous within the same system.
