Restores are ‘Much Easier and Faster’
Mark is pleased to work with a system that is optimized for restoring data. He had been frustrated with the restore process before switching to ExaGrid. “With Arcserve, we needed to go back and the find the job number to specify the tape. Now using Veeam with ExaGrid, everything is right there. I see a list of backups and it’s just a matter of selecting the date, going to that file, and restoring. I can have it all done in 15 minutes.
“It’s great to have easy access to our data and to be able to restore so easily. ExaGrid integrates perfectly with Veeam. I can’t say enough how much I like these products. I’ve had other people call me, trying to sell me on other products, but I’m not interested in moving to anything different. This system is much easier and faster.”
ExaGrid’s award-winning scale-out architecture provides customers with a fixed-length backup window regardless of data growth. Its unique disk-cache Landing Zone allows for the fastest backups and retains the most recent backup in its full undeduplicated form, enabling the fastest restores.
ExaGrid’s appliance models can be mixed and matched into a single scale-out system allowing a full backup of up to 2.7PB with a combined ingest rate of 488TB/hr, in a single system. The appliances automatically join the scale-out system. Each appliance includes the appropriate amount of processor, memory, disk, and bandwidth for the data size. By adding compute with capacity, the backup window remains fixed in length as the data grows. Automatic load balancing across all repositories allows for full utilization of all appliances. Data is deduplicated into an offline repository, and additionally, data is globally deduplicated across all repositories. This combination of capabilities in a turnkey appliance makes the ExaGrid system easy to install, manage, and scale. ExaGrid’s architecture provides lifetime value and investment protection that no other architecture can match.
