ExaGrid Launches 30TB Disk Backup System

ExaGrid Systems, Inc. has released its 30TB disk-based backup system with data de-duplication and a scalable GRID architecture. This product enhancement allows customers to store a 30TB full backup, plus weeks or months of retention, in a single GRID system. The expanded 30TB capacity will be available for both ExaGrid’s EX series servers with internal storage, as well as the ExaGrid iSCSI Gateway for Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays. In addition to expanded backup capacity, the ExaGrid provides backup performance by writing to disk at full disk speed (post-processing) and by adding complete servers in a GRID for system expansion, instead of just more disk capacity. This scalable GRID-based approach maintains fast backup performance even as data grows. ExaGrid is also uniquely fast for restore performance as it stores the most recent backup in its complete, non-de-duplicated form ready for rapid restoration or tape copies.
