ExaGrid's Eye on Deduplication

It’s that time of year when the lists come out, and the data storage industry is no different. Over at the Storage Switzerland blog, George Crump and Erick Slack, Senior Analysts for Storage Switzerland, have created a list of top data storage companies to watch in 2012.  We are very pleased that ExaGrid was named as one of the top data storage companies by these respected storage industry analysts.

According to Crump and Slack, “The purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) market has certainly come into its own over the past few years. During that time ExaGrid has established itself as a leader, especially in the mid-range market where it focuses. ExaGrid uses a scale-out architecture to allow midrange customers to start small and grow their investment as needed instead of having to do a fork-lift upgrade.”

They continued, “In 2012 look for ExaGrid to continue maturing its product with tighter integration with software applications like those from Symantec and Veeam. They should also be able to take advantage of processor improvements and disk capacity improvements to be able to scale into the higher end of the PBBA market. Look for 2012 to end with only three serious PBBA vendors instead of the dozen that we have today. I expect ExaGrid to be one of those three.”
