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 […]
