ExaGrid Announces Support of Metallic

August 28, 2024,Marlborough, Mass. United States : ExaGrid®, the industry’s only Tiered Backup Storage solution with Retention Time-Lock that includes a non-network-facing tier (creating a tiered air gap), delayed deletes and immutability for ransomware recovery, today announced its support of Metallic, which is part of Commvault® Cloud, the data resiliency and recovery platform.

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.

ExaGrid has now expanded this benefit to Commvault Cloud users with its support of Metallic, offering more flexibility to users who want to back up data on-premise, and offering greater storage and costs savings for organizations that keep longer-term retention of their data.

ExaGrid supports:

Commvault dedupe on
Commvault dedupe off
Commvault compression on
Commvault compression off
or any combination of the above

“ExaGrid continues to innovate its Tiered Backup Storage solution to enhance its integration with the leading backup applications and utilities. ExaGrid has been a target for Commvault software for nearly 15 years. We are excited to offer even more value to Commvault users by expanding our support to Metallic as well,” said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid.
