ExaGrid, an independent backup storage vendor providing Tiered Backup Storage, is releasing ExaGrid software version 8.1—adding support for Cohesity and encryption.
“ExaGrid continues to add and improve on our integrations with the industry’s leading backup applications and utilities. We are excited to expand our list of supported backup applications to include Cohesity DataProtect. We also continue to innovate to expand our security features and have added NFS to the list of protocols that we can offer encryption over the wire for,” said Bill Andrews, president and CEO of ExaGrid. “In addition, ExaGrid has been working with a growing number of MSPs and adding features to support our MSP partners, including this new feature which will be helpful for MSPs in managing their contracts with their clients. With the release of 8.1, we remain focused on our mission to create the best backup storage solution in the industry that solves all the challenges that organizations face with backups.”
The latest version includes:
Support for Cohesity DataProtect
- Uses S3 protocol.
- Supports Cohesity Cloud Archive Direct.
- ExaGrid further deduplicates Cohesity deduplicated data, cutting the storage footprint in half.
- ExaGrid works with Cohesity NetBackup for mixed NetBackup and DataProtect environments.
NFS encrypted over the wire
- Available for backup apps that support NFS encryption over the wire.
- ExaGrid already supports encryption over the wire with other protocols such as the Veeam Data Mover, CIFS, and S3.
Share Quota
- ExaGrid already tracks how much data is going into each share.
- Now, a Managed Service Provider (MSP) can set a quota to match what the customer contract is.
- The MSP can set the share quota to match the amount in the contract.
- If the quota is exceeded, ExaGrid sends an alert that the share quota has been exceeded. (Backups are not interrupted, just an alert is sent.)
ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage is easy to install and use and works seamlessly with more than 25 backup applications, allowing for backups from multiple backup apps at the same time, so that organizations can retain their investment in existing backup applications and processes.
