- Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) Innovation
- Storage Hardware Innovation of the Year

The largest scale-out system can take in up to a 2.7PB full backup with an ingest rate of 488TB/hr. This is 3X faster than any other backup storage on the market.
“We are truly humbled to be a finalist in five award categories. We are not only obsessed with backup storage, but we are highly focused on building long-term partnerships with our channel partners and customers. We accomplish this by building the best product, support model, sizing, and pricing,” said Bill Andrews, ExaGrid’s President and CEO. “We are in great company with the other industry leaders who are nominated for this year’s SDC Awards. It’s encouraging to see the industry at full strength.”
ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage
ExaGrid provides Tiered Backup Storage with a front-end disk-cache Landing Zone, the Performance Tier, which writes data directly to disk for the fastest backups, and restores directly from disk for the fastest restores and VM boots. The long-term retention data is tiered to a deduplicated data repository, the Retention Tier, to reduce the amount of retention storage and resulting cost. This two-tiered approach provides the fastest backup and restore performance with lowest cost storage efficiency.
In addition, ExaGrid provides a scale-out architecture where appliances are simply added as data grows. Each appliance includes processor, memory and network ports, so as data grows, all resources required are available to maintain a fixed-length backup window. This scale-out storage approach eliminates expensive forklift upgrades, and allows for mixing appliances of different sizes and models in the same scale-out system, which eliminates product obsolescence while protecting IT investments up front and over time.
