ExaGrid Systems, Inc.:

WHY

The market for disk backup with deduplication is approaching $3 billion in annual revenues, as many organizations are considering moving to disk-based backup with deduplication. What many of these organizations do not realize is that, depending on the disk backup architecture a company chooses, it could either improve backups or experience 10 potential pitfalls that could negatively impact their backup and recovery systems for years. The more these organizations know up front about the long term implications of their decisions when implementing a disk backup system, the more likely they can avoid these serious consequences. Through this webinar, attendees will learn the many factors to consider before investing in disk backup with deduplication and hear real-life examples from TenCate’s experiences.

WHAT

This webinar will provide attendees with insight into the key disk backup challenges and how to overcome them. Jayme Williams, senior systems engineer at TenCate, will share his company’s experience with upgrading its backup environment twice--first from tape to an EMC Data Domain disk backup with deduplication system, and then after experiencing pitfalls, to a disk backup with deduplication system from ExaGrid. This allowed his company to avoid a costly and unexpected forklift upgrade of its Data Domain system. Williams will be joined by Marc Crespi, ExaGrid’s vice president of product management. Together they will discuss:

• Key technical attributes to assess in disk backup with deduplication systems
• Questions to ask to avoid mistakes and solve backup problems permanently
• How to avoid problems including:
  • Ever-expanding backup windows as data grows
  • Expensive forklift upgrades within months or years
  • Reduced productivity due to longer restores and critical system downtime
