Overview:
ExaGrid takes pride in our ecosystem of technology partners by offering the single most scalable and cost-effective backup storage to any virtualized, physical or disaster recovery environment. ExaGrid’s next generation appliance nets faster and more reliable backups, always.
Veeam Backup & Replication
ExaGrid’s Tiered Backup Storage is changing the economics of Veeam backup. ExaGrid’s cost-effective scale-out growth model has a lower cost up front and a lower cost over time compared to standard disk solutions and traditional deduplication storage solutions.
ExaGrid supports Veeam’s Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR). This allows backup administrators using Veeam to direct all jobs to a single repository made up of ExaGrid shares across multiple ExaGrid appliances in a single scale-out system, automating backup job management. ExaGrid’s support of SOBR also automates the addition of appliances into an existing ExaGrid system as data grows by simply adding the new appliances to a Veeam repository group.
Commvault
ExaGrid’s Tiered Backup Storage requires close integration between the backup software and the backup storage. ExaGrid provides a cost-effective backup solution that scales to meet the needs of demanding enterprise environments. ExaGrid improves the storage economics of Commvault environments by working with Commvault compression and deduplication enabled to provide up to 15:1 reduction in storage consumption – a 3X storage savings over using Commvault deduplication alone. This combination dramatically lowers the cost of onsite and offsite backup storage.
Commvault deduplicated data can be sent to ExaGrid appliances for further deduplication. ExaGrid takes the average 5:1 Commvault deduplication ratio up to 15:1 which reduces the storage footprint by 300%. This greatly reduces the cost of the backup storage. ExaGrid can replicate the 15:1 deduplicated data to a second site for offsite long-term retention and disaster recovery. The additional deduplication saves WAN bandwidth in addition to saving storage at both sites.
Acronis® Cyber Backup
The combination of Acronis® Backup with highly efficient ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage appliances provides customers with an easy-to-manage process and cost-effective solution for remote site backup and storage. This combined solution has been tested and tuned so that both systems work together to deliver secure storage and fast recovery. Organizations using Acronis Backup can back up remote sites via Acronis agents installed at remote sites directly to an ExaGrid appliance at either the organization’s own data center or a third-party cloud service provider.
HYCU
In partnership with ExaGrid, HYCU purpose-built backup and recovery for Nutanix is the leader in Nutanix data protection.
With native platform protection and a fully integrated interface, few solutions are in better position to support a Nutanix-led data center. ExaGrid enables enterprises to implement and scale HYCU with a lower cost up front and a lower cost over time using ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage approach. ExaGrid ensures a high-performance HYCU implementation with scale-out growth model fast restores and fast backups that meet your backup needs.
Vertias
Customer environments are made up of many backup approaches, backup applications, and utilities. Each disk-based backup approach supports them in different ways. Customers may have any number of backups occurring in their environment, including traditional backup applications for physical server backups, VMware, Nutanix,Hyper-V, direct-to-disk SQL dumps, Oracle RMAN direct backups, and specific UNIX utilities such as UNIX TAR.
ExaGrid’ s unique approach to backup storage delivers the fastest backups, restores, VM boots, and offsite tape copies as well as the only fixed-length backup window as data grows. In addition, ExaGrid’s scale-out architecture and various size appliances allows customers to buy what they need as they need it, avoiding disruptive and costly forklift upgrades. Customers are able to mix older and newer appliances in the same scale-out system, eliminating product obsolescence and protecting their IT investment up front and over time. ExaGrid’s nonnetworking-facing Repository Tier (tiered air gap) with delayed deletes and immutable data objects ensure that data is read to be restored after a ransomware attack or other security event.
Zerto
Zerto is an ExaGrid Technology Partner. Zerto provides enterprise-class business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) solutions for virtualized IT infrastructure and cloud.
Zerto and ExaGrid have been working together to produce the best of both worlds, a solution that provides for granular real-time disaster recovery, as well as cost-efficient storage for long-term backup retention. Zerto’s Continuous Data Protection (CDP) captures and tracks modifications, automatically saving every version of the data the user creates locally at a target repository. This approach, in combination with ExaGrid’s disk-cache Landing Zone, Adaptive Deduplication process, and scale-out architecture, provides a solution that delivers continuous data protection and scalable long- term backup retention.
