About ExaGrid Established in 2002 100% focused on disk-based
backup
Largest independent vendor in the space 100% focused on disk-based
backup Highly differentiated architecture Winner of the most
industry awards Large customer base Over 10,000 systems installed
worldwide Over 350 published customer success stories More than all
other vendors combined exagrid.com|2 Backup Requirements Support
for leading backup apps, dumps & utilities
Easy to use and manage Fastest backups for the shortest backup
window Fastest local restores Instant recoveries just boot a VM
Fastest offsite tape copies Fixed length backup window as data
grows Best RPO and RTO from a site disaster Lowest cost up front
and over time Why Disk and Why Deduplication?
Faster backups and restores More reliable backups and restores
Improved security Less management time Why Deduplication? Disk
becomes expensive due to history/retention Backup can retain 10 to
100 times the primary storage The amount of disk required needs to
be reduced Deduplication reduces the amount of disk by storing only
unique bytes or blocks With Deduplication, Implementation
Matters
Is a required feature that reduces the amount of disk Depending on
implementation, deduplication can break backup If deduplication is
not implemented correctly, then Backups will be slower Restores
will be slower Instant VM recoveries will take hours Offsite tape
copies could take days The backup window will grow in length as
data grows Disk usage can grow faster for some more than others The
bandwidth to replicate offsite could be greater There will be
expensive future forklift upgrades Deduplication Deployment
Scenarios
Client-side Dedupe Small remote offices WAN-efficient transfer of
datato the corporate data center Media Server Dedupe Average 7:1
dedupe ratio Use more disk with longer retention Use more WAN
bandwidth Inline Slower backups Slow restores (rehydration)
Dedicated Dedupe Appliance Average 20:1 dedupe ratio Uses less disk
with longer retention Uses less WAN bandwidth Faster backups
dedicated appliance Faster restores dedicated appliance Offload the
media server Heterogeneous environments Disk Backup with
Deduplication
Architectural Approaches Inline deduplication with scale-up
Target-side appliances Deduplication in the backup software to
straight disk Landing zone with scale-out Backup Software
Server-based Deduplication
Compute-intensive inline process in an already taxed media server
slows backups down Data is 100% deduplicated on disk which slows
down restores, recoveries, and tape copies due to a lengthy
rehydration process for every request Average deduplication ratio
for software is 7:1 versus 20:1 in a dedicated appliance requiring
far more disk and WAN bandwidth Challenges of Traditional Inline
Deduplication
Slows backup down due tocompute-intensive inline process Data is
100% deduplicated on diskwhich slows down all requests dueto data
rehydration time Backup window grows as data grows since only disk
capacityis addedBackup software has a lower deduplication rate,
resulting in: More storage More bandwidth Inline with Scale-up
Challenges
Slows backup down due to compute-intensive inline process Data is
100% deduplicated on disk which slows down restores,recoveries, and
tape copies due to a lengthy rehydration processfor every request

added, ultimately forcing a forklift upgrade Need to determine up

business, time is money, and downtime can be calculated in losses
of thousands of dollars an hour. Ninety-nine percent of the time,
we need to restore data from the most recent backup, but with the

recovery process was long and complicated. Volkswagon Credit We
