ExaGrid Appliances Connect to Form a Single Scale-Out System

ExaGrid appliances are comprised of processors, memory, RAID6, and a hot spare drive per appliance, using

enterprise-class SAS drives and ExaGrid software. See the ExaGrid Technical Specifications data sheet for

more details.

Each appliance plugs in and is virtualized into a shared system with a single user interface, global

deduplication, and automatic load balancing. The media server is connected to the same network and sees

the appliances as one or more NAS shares, Veeam Data Mover targets, or Veritas NetBackup OST targets. Since

each appliance includes the appropriate amount of processor, memory, Landing Zone disk, deduplicated

repository disk, and bandwidth for the rated data size, performance increases as more appliances are added

to the system.
