ExaGrid continues to innovate its Tiered Backup Storage, and in the past year has added 4 SSD models to its product line in addition to its 8 HDD models, with the largest model scaling to an over 17PB full backup in a single scale-out system. ExaGrid also added support for Cohesity DataProtect to the list of 25+ industry-leading backup applications and utilities supported by the system, which include Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, NetBackup, and many others. ExaGrid further deduplicates Cohesity deduplicated data for further storage and cost savings. In addition, ExaGrid has expanded on its already comprehensive security features by adding encryption over the wire to its NFS offering.
ExaGrid has also added more features for IT corporate data centers and MSPs in the past year, including the ability to set up, track, and report on backup data usage for specific shares per department or customer, as well as being able to set up a quote threshold to alert when the threshold is being exceeded, and allowing for ransomware recovery at the share level.
“We are honored that ExaGrid has become a finalist in seven award categories and look forward to seeing which vendors, service providers, and programs will be chosen by the voters,” said Bill Andrews, ExaGrid’s President and CEO. “ExaGrid remains committed to offering the best backup storage solution in the industry for MSPs and IT corporate data centers, with industry-leading technical support, the fastest backup and restore performance, and most security features in a backup storage system.”
