3. Backup Requirements Support for leading backup apps, dumps & utilities
Easy to use and manage
Fastest backups for the shortest backup window
Fastest local restores
Instant recoveries – just boot a VM
Fastest offsite tape copies
Fixed length backup window as data grows
Best RPO and RTO from a site disaster
Lowest cost up front and over time

4. Disk Backup with Deduplication
Architectural Approaches
Inline deduplication with scale-up
Deduplication in the backup software to straight disk
Landing zone with scale-out

5. Challenges of Traditional Inline Deduplication
Slows backup down due to compute-intensive inline process
Data is 100% deduplicated on disk which slows down all requests due to data rehydration time
Backup window grows as data grows since only disk capacity is added Backup software has the same 3 challenges as above plus a lower deduplication rate, resulting in:
More storage
More bandwidth

6. ExaGrid – A Better Way! Unique Architecture
Front-end landing zone
Most recent backups in full form ready to restore
Adaptive deduplication
Occurs in parallel
Global deduplication
Deduplicates across all NAS shares and all appliances in a GRID
Scale-out
Full appliances in a GRID
ExaGrid Solves the Problems
Fastest backups
Fastest: restores, instant recoveries & tape copies
Fixed length backup window as data grows
Eliminates obsolescence and forklift upgrades

7. Works with Leading Backup Apps and Utilities
