Techplus Distribution has a strong reputation for bringing leading edge technologies to Australasia. The partnership is a clear demonstration of the global demand for ExaGrid’s data deduplication solution."At ExaGrid, we seek out partners who are not only knowledgeable about the IT needs of mid-market businesses and small enterprises, but also those with a sterling reputation in their market," said Bill Hobbib, vice president of marketing at ExaGrid.

Benefits of Deploying ExaGrid Disk Backup with Deduplication
ExaGrid backup systems are designed to meet the needs of companies backing up between 1TB and 130TB of data in a single system. ExaGrid’s unique approach to disk-based backup delivers all the performance, reliability and security benefits of backing up to disk, at a cost that rivals the price of tape.
ExaGrid's unique approach to disk-based backup delivers unparalleled performance and scalability without requiring costly forklift upgrades as data grows. ExaGrid customers achieve the fastest backup times because data is written directly to disk, data deduplication is performed post-process after the data is stored but most importantly ExaGrid adds full servers which include processor, memory, disk and bandwidth versus just adding disk. This unique approach ensures that the backup window does not re-explode as it would with other approaches. In addition, ExaGrid's GRID scalability enables organizations to store up to a 130TB full backup plus retention. Performance scales with data growth since processing power, memory and bandwidth are added along with storage capacity, and data loads are automatically balanced across all servers.VARs and Distributors who are interested in joining ExaGrid’s Reseller Partner Program should contact Andy Palmer via apalmer@exagrid.com.

CUSTOMER QUOTES

The ExaGrid system is very well integrated with the CommVault system and they work together seamlessly. In addition, the ExaGrid customer support staff is not only knowledgeable about their own product, but they understand CommVault as well. Integration is often the most difficult part of setting up a new system, but ExaGrid's customer support knew exactly how to configure the system so that we were up and running quickly.
