Grid-X Backup

Grid-X Backup’s key features that make the solution ideally suited for HPC, government applications, high performance computing and education markets, include:

Self-evolving grid: Grid-X Backup eliminates technology lock-in, forklift upgrades and data migration by enabling multiple generations of nodes in a single grid. Greener, faster, and denser Accelerator and Storage Nodes leveraging the latest hardware technology can be non-disruptively added to an existing Grid-X Backup grid.
Unrestricted, independent, linear scalability: Grid-X Backup grid architecture composed of Accelerate Nodes and Storage Nodes uniquely enables both performance and capacity to be scaled independently and linearly to meet customers’ specific requirements.
Global enterprise deduplication: Grid-X Backup’s DataRedux™ technology leverages a fully distributed hash table to fully maximize deduplication storage efficiency across the entire grid. Grid-X Backup’s unified global deduplication cuts data storage capacity needs by 95 percent or more across the enterprise and delivers up to 50 percent more efficient deduplication than siloed virtual tape libraries and appliances where deduplication is limited to one system.
Enhanced Data Resiliency – Grid-X Backup’s Distributed Resilient Data™ (DRD) technology protects deduplicated data beyond today's RAID technology. The default setting of three protects against three disk or node failures delivering 1.5 more resiliency than RAID 6 with 25 percent less overhead.
Effortless management: Intelligent management software across the grid provides self-management and self-tuning to reduce storage complexity and administrator costs, while improving staff productivity.
Replication: Grid-X Backup RepliGrid™ provides asynchronous grid-to-grid replication for disaster recovery with deduplication across all replicated Grid-X Backup grids. Grid-wide deduplication minimizes network bandwidth requirements as well as disaster recovery site capacity requirements. Granular data selection allows IT to replicate just what they want.
