ExaGrid Supports Metallic

Exagrid Systems, Inc. announced its support of Metallic, part of Commvault Cloud, the data resiliency and recovery platform.

The company offers industry tiered backup storage solution with retention time-lock that includes a non-network-facing tier (creating a tiered air gap), delayed deletes and immutability for ransomware recovery.

It improves the storage economics of Commvault environments by working with Commvault compression and de-dupe enabled to provide up to 15:1 reduction in storage consumption – a 3x storage savings over using Commvault de-dupe alone. This combination lowers the cost of onsite and offsite backup storage.

The company has expanded this benefit to Commvault Cloud users with its support of Metallic, offering more flexibility to users who want to backup data on-premise, and offering greater storage and costs savings for organizations that keep longer-term retention of their data.

ExaGrid supports:

• Commvault de-dupe on
• Commvault de-dupe off
• Commvault compression on
• Commvault compression off
• Or any combination of the above

“ExaGrid continues to innovate its Tiered Backup Storage solution to enhance its integration with the leading backup applications and utilities. ExaGrid has been a target for Commvault software for nearly 15 years. We are excited to offer even more value to Commvault users by expanding our support to Metallic as well,” said Bill Andrews, president and CEO, ExaGrid.
