ExaGrid Enters Agreement with Arrow Electronics

ExaGrid Systems, Inc. has entered into a distribution agreement with Arrow Electronics, Inc.

This later aggregates the technologies and services to enable its global channel ecosystem. Arrow’s cloud management platform, ArrowSphere, removes the complexity in the IT buying process by connecting these technologies with thousands of channel partners and end-users through an extensive cloud catalog and life-cycle management capabilities.

“We are pleased to start this relationship and to make our Tiered Backup Storage solution available to more channel partners and their end-user customers across the US and Canada though our new agreement with Arrow Electronics,” said Bill Andrews, president and CEO, ExaGrid. “This new agreement supports our efforts to strengthen our relationships in the channel and grow our business with more resellers, all with a continued focus to offer organizations the best backup storage in the industry.“

ExaGrid has more than 3,750 active upper mid-market to large enterprise customers that use its tiered backup storage to protect their data. Its growth is accelerating, and it is hiring in all aspects of the business WW. ExaGrid recently announced its highlights for 2022, which included a year with revenue growth and with the company remaining cash, EBITDA, and P&L positive for the past 9 quarters in a row.

It 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 de-duped data repository, the retention tier, to reduce the amount of retention storage and resulting cost. This 2-tiered approach provides ast backup and restores performance with low cost storage efficiency.

In addition, the vendor 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. The firm offers the best ransomware recovery with its non-network facing tier (tiered air gap), delayed deletes and immutable data objects.
