SMS proTECH partners with ExaGrid Systems Storage / Backup Solution

Sidney, OH, February 2010 - SMS proTECH, a leading provider of business-to-business systems integrations solutions, announced a strategic addition to their backup and recovery storage portfolio by partnering with ExaGrid Systems.

ExaGrid is the leader in cost-effective and scalable disk-based backup solutions with byte-level data deduplication. "We chose ExaGrid because they offer a highly scalable system that works with existing backup applications", Dave Rees, SMS CTO. "The ExaGrid solution is ideal for all sizes and types of companies looking to quickly eliminate the hassles of tape backup while reducing their existing backup windows. ExaGrid minimizes the amount of data to be stored by providing standard data compressions for the most recent backups along with byte-level data de-duplication technology for all previous backups. Customers can deploy the ExaGrid system at a primary site and at a second site to supplement or eliminate offsite tapes with a live data repository or for disaster recovery."

ExaGrid is a turnkey,plug-and-play solution that works with existing applications to enable faster and more reliable backups and restores. Customer report that backup time is reduced by 30 to 80% over traditional tape backup. This solution, coupled with high-quality SATA storage is often 25-30% the price of standard disk storage without data de-duplication. This unique approach reduces the amount of disk space needed by a range of 10 to 50:1 or more. ExaGrid supports these leading backup applications: CA ARCserve, CommVault Galaxy, Symantec Backup Exec and NetBackup, EMC Networker, Microsoft SQL Dump and VMware Backup. ExaGrid was named Storage Magazine's "Product of the Year" 2009.
