Commvault Customers Can Add ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage to Improve the Storage Economics of their Backup Environments

ExaGrid’s Tiered Backup Storage requires close integration between the backup software and the backup storage. ExaGrid provides a cost-effective backup solution that scales to meet the needs of demanding enterprise environments. ExaGrid improves the storage economics of Commvault environments by working with Commvault compression and deduplication enabled to provide up to 15:1 reduction in storage consumption – a 3X storage savings over using Commvault deduplication alone. This combination dramatically lowers the cost of onsite and offsite backup storage.

Commvault Deduplication Enabled

Commvault deduplicated data can be sent to ExaGrid appliances for further deduplication. ExaGrid takes the average 5:1 Commvault deduplication ratio up to 15:1 which reduces the storage footprint by 300%. This greatly reduces the cost of the backup storage. ExaGrid can replicate the 15:1 deduplicated data to a second site for offsite long-term retention and disaster recovery. The additional deduplication saves WAN bandwidth in addition to saving storage at both sites.

Advantages to using Commvault deduplication include:

  • Support for Commvault data management
  • Less traffic from the client across the LAN for client-side deduplication as well as from the media server to the storage for media agent deduplication

 

Advantages of using ExaGrid deduplication with Commvault deduplication include:

  • Saves onsite and offsite storage and associated costs
  • Uses less WAN bandwidth
  • Encryption at rest is performed at the disk drive level increasing Commvault performance by 20 to 30%
  • Can work with DASH Fulls
  • Can work alongside DASH Copy
