About ExaGrid Established in 2002 100% focused on disk-based backup
Largest independent vendor in the space 100% focused on disk-based backup Highly differentiated architecture Winner of the most industry awards Large customer base Over 10,000 systems installed worldwide Over 350 published customer success stories More than all other vendors combined exagrid.com|2 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 Why Disk and Why Deduplication?
Faster backups and restores More reliable backups and restores Improved security Less management time Why Deduplication? Disk becomes expensive due to history/retention Backup can retain 10 to 100 times the primary storage The amount of disk required needs to be reduced Deduplication reduces the amount of disk by storing only unique bytes or blocks With Deduplication, Implementation Matters
Is a required feature that reduces the amount of disk Depending on implementation, deduplication can break backup If deduplication is not implemented correctly, then Backups will be slower Restores will be slower Instant VM recoveries will take hours Offsite tape copies could take days The backup window will grow in length as data grows Disk usage can grow faster for some more than others The bandwidth to replicate offsite could be greater There will be expensive future forklift upgrades Deduplication Deployment Scenarios
Client-side Dedupe Small remote offices WAN-efficient transfer of datato the corporate data center Media Server Dedupe Average 7:1 dedupe ratio Use more disk with longer retention Use more WAN bandwidth Inline Slower backups Slow restores (rehydration) Dedicated Dedupe Appliance Average 20:1 dedupe ratio Uses less disk with longer retention Uses less WAN bandwidth Faster backups dedicated appliance Faster restores dedicated appliance Offload the media server Heterogeneous environments Disk Backup with Deduplication
Architectural Approaches Inline deduplication with scale-up Target-side appliances Deduplication in the backup software to straight disk Landing zone with scale-out Backup Software Server-based Deduplication
Compute-intensive inline process in an already taxed media server slows backups down Data is 100% deduplicated on disk which slows down restores, recoveries, and tape copies due to a lengthy rehydration process for every request Average deduplication ratio for software is 7:1 versus 20:1 in a dedicated appliance requiring far more disk and WAN bandwidth Challenges of Traditional Inline Deduplication
Slows backup down due tocompute-intensive inline process Data is 100% deduplicated on diskwhich slows down all requests dueto data rehydration time Backup window grows as data grows since only disk capacityis addedBackup software has a lower deduplication rate, resulting in: More storage More bandwidth Inline with Scale-up Challenges
Slows backup down due to compute-intensive inline process Data is 100% deduplicated on disk which slows down restores,recoveries, and tape copies due to a lengthy rehydration processfor every request Backup window grows as data grows since only disk capacity is added, ultimately forcing a forklift upgrade Need to determine up front what you require guess at what is needed Controllers are obsolete each time a new chip becomes available ExaGrid A Better Way!

Grow Financial(former customer of DD) In our business, time is money, and downtime can be calculated in losses of thousands of dollars an hour. Ninety-nine percent of the time, we need to restore data from the most recent backup, but with the Data Domain unit, stored data had to be reconstituted, and the recovery process was long and complicated. Volkswagon Credit We tested solutions from both ExaGridvs. Data Domain side by side and chosethe ExaGrid basedon its approach to data deduplication and its overall simplicity.
