ExaGrid provides tiered backup storage with a unique disk-cache Landing Zone, long-term retention repository, and scale-out architecture. The system scales as needed by adding ExaGrid appliances, which virtualize into a single scale-out system automatically, adding capacity and processing power while acting and being managed as one unified system.
ExaGrid disk-based backup appliances include scale-out computing software, which virtualizes them into a single pool of long-term capacity. Capacity load balancing of all data across appliances is automatic.

Simple, turnkey appliances
ExaGrid's appliances work seamlessly with the backup applications and typically install in about one hour. The product line's multiple appliance models can be combined into a single scale-out system of up to 6.14PB raw capacity, allowing full backups of up to 2.69PB. Since each appliance includes the appropriate amount of processor, memory, disk, and bandwidth for the data size, as each appliance is plugged into the switch and virtualized into a single scale-out system, performance is maintained and backup times do not increase as data is added. This combination of capabilities in a turnkey appliance makes the ExaGrid system easy to install, manage, and scale.

Scalable architecture
Multiple core ExaGrid disk-based backup appliances include scale-out computing software which allows them to virtualize into one another when plugged into a switch. As a result, any of the multiple appliance models can be mixed and matched into a single scale-out system configuration of up to 6.14PB raw capacity and allowing full backups of up to 2.69PB. Once virtualized, they appear as a single pool of long-term capacity. Capacity load balancing of all data across servers is automatic, and multiple systems can be combined for additional capacity. Data is load balanced across all appliances in the system to ensure the best deduplicated storage efficiency.
