ExaGrid’s turnkey disk-based backup system combines high quality SATA drives with byte-level data deduplication, delivering a disk-based solution that is more cost effective than standard SATA drives. ExaGrid’s byte-level data deduplication technology stores only the changes from backup to backup instead of storing full file copies, reducing the amount of disk needed by a range of 10:1 to 50:1 or more, resulting in a solution that is 25 to 30% the cost of standard SATA drives. The ExaGrid system is easy to install and use and works seamlessly with popular backup applications, so organizations can retain their investment in existing applications and processes.
ExaGrid Makes Adhering to Industry Standards Easier 7-Eleven Stores must adhere to Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards, which dictate how sensitive credit and debit card is handled and stored. Crouch said that installing a two-site ExaGrid system will enable the company to more easily comply with the stringent PCI requirements than it could with tape because data backups can be better tracked and are more secure. The company is audited periodically to demonstrate that it is properly storing transaction data.
When ABC Companies installed a new Oracle ERP system, the organization’s IT staff decided the time was right to look for a more reliable backup solution. The company had been backing up its data to a tape library and then transporting tape offsite but wanted a more robust solution with data deduplication to reduce the amount of data stored and the ability to replicate data offsite for better disaster recovery.
ExaGrid’s data deduplication methodology also helps us reduce backup times because the data is deduped after it hits the system, so backup jobs to run as quickly as possible,” said Shah. “Backup times were one of our huge pain points before we installed the solution but since implementing the ExaGrid system, they’ve been reduced from 10 to 1 hours because we write a synthetic flow backup with Veeam, which eliminated the need to run full backups.
Our backup times were getting longer and longer and we were constantly pushing up against our backup window. Our backups need to be completed by the time our users start working or our network slows down to a crawl,” said James Suvanaket, senior systems engineer for All Star International. “Restores were challenging, too. Our tapes are stored off-site, so before we could even go through the restore process, we had to get the tapes here. It was so frustrating. I can’t even count the number of times that we had restore requests right after the courier left with our tapes. We needed a solution that would enable us to back up our data each and every night within our backup window and we needed better access to our data for restores.
As AVH’s data grows, ExaGrid’s GRID architecture will enable the company to easily expand the system to accommodate more data. ExaGrid’s GRID computing software makes the system highly scalable, and when plugged into a switch, different sized configurations can be mixed and matched into a single GRID system with capacities of up to a 100TB full backup plus retention. Once virtualized, they appear as a single system to the backup server, and load balancing of all data across servers is automatic.
