ExaGrid is a cost effective and scalable disk-based backup solution that works with your existing backup application. ExaGrid combines high quality SATA drives, compression, byte-level data de-duplication and a scalable GRID architecture for fast and reliable backups and restores at a fraction the price of standard disk.
ExaGrid's innovative approach minimizes the amount of data to be stored by providing standard data compression for the most recent backups, along with byte-level data de-duplication for all previous backups. ExaGrid's byte-level data de-duplication technology stores changes from backup to backup instead of storing full file copies. This unique approach reduces the disk space required by at least 20 to 1, delivering unparalleled cost savings and performance at 30% the cost of standard SATA disk storage.

Five Core ExaGrid Server Configurations
For example, a 5TB ExaGrid server can store a 5TB full backup (5TB of primary data) plus up to 16 weeks of retention/history, while a 2TB server can take in a 2TB full backup (2TB of primary data) plus up to 16 weeks of retention. If a 20TB system is required, then four EX5000s are plugged into the switch and virtualize into a single system.
