Reading Time: 3 minutesTo add other information to the previous post I would add to point some interesting features for ExaGrid products. Encryption The Exagrid EX13000-SEC offers improved data security with enterprise-proven, industry standard Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology. SEDs provide a high level of security for data-at-rest and can help reduce IT drive retirement costs in the data center. All data on the disk drive is encrypted automatically without any action required by users. Encryption and authentication keys are never accessible to outside systems, where they can be stolen. Unlike software-based encryption methods, SEDs typically have a better […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe ExaGrid system is a “cost effective” and scalable backup to disk (B2D) solution that works with most of existing backup application (it does not provide a backup engine itself, but can use other programs with the requirement that they must be able to save the backup to a network share). ExaGrid’s innovative approach minimizes the amount of data to be stored by providing standard data compression for the most recent back ups, along with byte level data deduplication for all previous backups. ExaGrid’s post-process deduplication technology stores changes from backup to backup instead of […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesFinally the Europen edition of Dell Storage Forum 2012 is over, after four full intesive days (some moments are also in this fotogallery). The main theme of the event was the “Fluid by Design” approach of Dell Storage products (and not only), already discussed in the previous post. Interesting the video (also presented during the last general session) with the answers by several attendees at what does “Fluid by Design” mean to you? About my technicals wish-list, in the NDA sessions there were several interesting announces and future plans… most on the right way. The Hand-on-labs were really interesting and […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesOne of the first big events of this new year will be the Dell Storage Forum (the first Dell’s European storage show) during the second week of January (9-12). This event was partly born from the hashes of C-Drive (Compellent trade show) that was supposed to have its first European incarnation last year but due to the acquisition of Compellent by Dell C-Drive got canceled and Dell Storage Forum was born instead conveying all things storage by Dell in a single storage-focused event.
