ExaGrid & NetBackup – Making Backup Better
Fastest Backups & Restores
• ExaGrid post-processing architecture for fastest backups and restores• Shorter Backup Windows via NetBackup Optimized Synthetic backups
Better Off-site Backup Protection
• ExaGrid can easily replicate backup data to an off-site ExaGrid system• NetBackup AIR allows these off-site copies to be created across different NetBackup master domains
Superior Scalability
• Backup performance is maintained as your data grows• ExaGrid’s GRID-based system allows you to pay as you grow with no forklift upgrades
Easy Management of Both Local and Remote Backups
• Backup data on both on-site and off-site ExaGrid appliances can be managed within the NetBackup console
• Easily monitor the status of both onsite and offsite backups
30
BeforeEnvironment• Symantec NetBackup
• Disk-to-disk backup (another vendor) with inline dedupe, backing up 10,000+ databases daily.
• Maxed out number of disk trays; single controller could not scale to handle data growth.
Backup and Restore Speeds • Couldn’t scale to keep up. 2-1/2 days with D2D
system to deduplicate one day’s worth of data.
• IT reverted back to tape backups
• Restores were slow and difficult
Cost: • Expensive as capacity grew
AfterEnvironment• Symantec NetBackup OST and ExaGrid
• ExaGrid 80TB system backing up 1PB of data.
• Multiple sites managed via NetBackup catalog
• Deduplication ratios average 27:1
Backup and Restore Speeds• Backups meet goals, scale using GRID
• Restore speeds: quick with full copy of most recent backup in high-speed landing zone.
Cost: • Cost effective as data grows--add capacity in
modular increments and pay as they grow.
Case Study – Concur
“We’ve worked closely with ExaGrid on our backup infrastructure and have been extremelypleased with the product, customer support, and the company as a whole. The folks at ExaGrid go the extra mile, and we consider them to be a trusted partner.”
Sean Graver Storage Architect, Concur
Before
Environment• Symantec NetBackup
• Backing up to tape
Backup and Restore Speeds • Backup window was 24 hours
• Restores required minutes to hours
• Limited retention
Cost: • Important factor in evaluating new backup
solutions
After
Environment• Symantec NetBackup OST and ExaGrid
• ExaGrid 36TB system, including DR
Backup and Restore Speeds• Backups completed in under 8 hours
• Restores often done in seconds
• 6-8 months of online recoverability
Cost: • ExaGrid was most cost effective solution up-front
and to handle data growth.
Case Study – Allegro Micro
“We looked at all the solutions out there, and in terms of meeting Allegro’s business objectives and technical requirements as well as being well priced, ExaGrid came out on top. Allegro is an innovator in its market space and prefers products that are proven, reliable, and easy to work with. We’ve found that ExaGrid is just like that; the product is ‘set it and forget it,’ and the company is very accommodating.”
Gary Gomes, network manager. Allegro MicroSystems
