Industry Analyst Lab Validation Report
Abstract:
A growing number of organizations are embracing disk-based backup solutions to improve backup performance, eliminate tape media management issues and improve the speed and reliability of recovery operations. This ESG Lab report explores how the ExaGrid disk-based backup system uses byte level data de-duplication to provide space efficient capacity optimization, fast and reliable backup and recovery performance and WAN-optimized remote replication using a virtualized pool of network attached disk capacity that works with existing backup software, policies and procedures.
ExaGrid: A Scalable Approach to Disk-based Backup

Abstract:
"With a true next-generation architecture, ExaGrid leverages the economic benefits of industry-standard hardware on a “scale-out” grid platform. The ExaGrid platform perfectly represents where the entire industry must follow: Easily deployed, self-contained disk-based data protection ‘clusters’ designed to fit into any existing enterprise data center and deliver results out-of-the-box."
ExaGrid: Disk-to-Disk Backup

Abstract:
"ESG has been an advocate of disk-based backup for several years. Why? The potential benefits speak for themselves: improved backup and recovery performance, easier management, better reliability, etc. Backing up to and recovering from disk-based platforms is not only faster than tape, but it is also more efficient (from a management standpoint) and more reliable, largely because there is a lot less human handling required. And with the advent of capacity optimization technologies such as compression, delta differencing and data de-duplication, the appeal of disk-based backup is that much greater. Reduced capacity requirements, longer retention periods and new and/or expanded remote backup options are all byproducts of data de-duplication. The value that ExaGrid solutions provide transcends that of traditional tape-based backup solutions."
