ExaGrid Systems is a provider of cost-effective and scalable disk-based backup solutions with patented byte-level data de-deduplication. The ExaGrid iSCSI De-duplication Gateway™ with DELL® EqualLogic™ iSCSI SAN storage provides organizations with a disk-based backup solution that delivers on the promise of backing up to disk often at the same or even sometimes lower price than tape-based approaches. ExaGrid’s unique byte-level data de-duplication works directly with Dell EqualLogic iSCSI SANs to dramatically reduce the amount of disk space required to store all of an organization’s backup data by 10, 20, or even 50 to 1. This includes all types of data as well as backups of full virtual server environments.

Trying to back up an ever increasing amount of data during a constantly shrinking backup window has forced organizations to live with backups running into critical business hours and interfering with application and network performance or user productivity. Many find they have to make the difficult decision to cancel backups prematurely, leaving large segments of critical data unprotected. With ExaGrid Systems and Dell EqualLogic, these problems can be eliminated. The use of an ExaGrid iSCSI Gateway with Dell EqualLogic storage arrays will help ensure that you can complete your backups in the shortest possible time. And when you need that data, you can restore it very quickly.

The ExaGrid iSCSI Gateway has been tested by ExaGrid with Dell EqualLogic PS5000 Series arrays to enable economical disk-based backup solutions that are easy to deploy and manage.
