Intelligent Scalability

The ExaGrid system can be easily expanded by adding additional units. Once installed, multiple

ExaGrid units act as a single virtual pool of storage capacity for your backup data. This

eliminates the need for you to migrate your data or start a new retention rotation in a new

isolated system. The ExaGrid software ensures that there is always adequate room for your

ongoing backups across the ExaGrid systems.

 

ExaGrid s scalable architecture has several advantages, including:

"   The ability to add systems without disruption

"   The ability to mix and match systems of different disk capacities and processing power to

create a larger, more powerful pool of capacity

"   New higher capacity and higher performance systems can be added to an existing

ExaGrid system over time. This eliminates the technology obsolescence problems

associated with tape technologies today

"   The ability to work collaboratively, ensuring that every version of every protected file is

always readable

Data Protection Redundancy

RAID 6 plus a hot spare is employed to protect against two simultaneous disk failures in order to

ensure that your backup data is always available for restore. This method of data protection

redundancy provides:

"   Highly reliable and fast onsite restore operations

"   Highly reliable and fast second site data recovery operations

"   The ability to automatically rebuild the RAID set if a drive failure occurs
