Storage company ExaGrid<\/a> has a new data backup and storage solution that works with backup software and cybersecurity company Acronis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nannouncement was made at the Acronis Cyber Summit 2019 at the Fontainebleau\nHotel in Miami, Florida which we live-blogged<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new solution is designed to help organizations meet the challenges of data growth and management at remote sites. Many organizations have up to hundreds or even thousands of remote and edge locations, or sites, such as sales offices, franchises, retail outlets, etc. These remote sites commonly do not have dedicated IT staff, yet the company data must be backed up on a daily or nightly basis. The data has to be stored centrally and is often kept for weeks, months, and years, and typically requires a second offsite copy for added data protection in case of disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncombination of Acronis Cyber Backup with ExaGrid disk-based backup\nappliances provides customers with an easy-to-manage process and cost-effective\nsolution for remote site backup and storage. This combined solution has been\ntested and tuned so that both systems work together to deliver secure storage\nand fast recovery. Organizations using Acronis Cyber Backup can back up remote\nsites via Acronis agents installed at remote sites directly to an ExaGrid\nstorage device at either the organization\u2019s own data center or a third-party\ncloud service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nthe secondary storage backup target, ExaGrid provides deduplication\ntechnologies that save on storage costs. ExaGrid\u2019s Landing Zone and Adaptive\nDeduplication technology result in superior backup and restore performance at a\nreasonable cost with complete Acronis Cyber Backup compatibility. ExaGrid\u2019s\narchitecture is designed to be easily scalable, resulting in a fixed-length\nbackup window regardless of data growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally,\ndata can be replicated to a second-site ExaGrid system for disaster recovery. ExaGrid\nsupports up to 16 major data centers in a group such that remote sites in\nspecific geographies can replicate into core centers and then those centers can\nbe cross-replicated. This approach provides cross-site disaster recovery\nsupport with efficient bandwidth utilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nfact \u2013 Exagrid has been supporting Multicloud since before the term was popularized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re\nexcited to present this exclusive combined solution for remote site backup and\nstorage to the marketplace,\u201d said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid.\n\u201cThis unique offering helps organizations manage the growing complexity of data\nmanagement and storage at disparate locations and data centers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs\norganizations face exploding data volumes, increased IT complexity, and the\nincreasing costs associated with those trends, Acronis is proud to have a\nstrategic partner like ExaGrid offering the easy, efficient and secure cyber\nprotection of Acronis Cyber Backup,\u201d said Serguei Beloussov (SB), Acronis\nFounder and Executive Officer. \u201cNot only does combining the advanced\ncapabilities of Acronis Cyber Backup with ExaGrid\u2019s unique architecture and\ntechnology enable customers to solve their backup and storage challenges at\nremote sites, they also gain additional benefits such as support for 21\nplatforms and the industry\u2019s first integrated ransomware protection powered by\nAI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s\nworth noting Acronis has what we believe is a unique idea in virus scanning \u2013\nthey scan the backups \u2013 freeing up the client machines from having to be\nburdened by frequent scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also means the idea can be extended to scan backups which are in the past \u2013 to see if there were past infections which may have potentially morphed over time to an undetectable state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, on a panel I moderated Bruno Rodriguez, Technology Licensing & Strategic Partnerships Director, Bitdefender mentioned this is the sort of innovation made possible because of the company\u2019s open APIs which allow Acronis to use their antivirus engine to scan. They themselves might not have thought of scanning the backups he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This news helps solidify Acronis as an ecosystem worth supporting in BCDR and ExaGrid gets to solidify its relationship with a fast-growing provider to MSPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
