ExaGrid Detailed Product Description

18

2)

Data is encrypted in the ExaGrid disk-cache Landing Zone or is encrypted on the primary storage and

backed up to ExaGrid such that ExaGrid has encrypted data in the Landing Zone and deduplicates

it into the Retention Tier. The data in the Landing Zone is encrypted. However, all previously

deduplicated data objects never change (immutable), so they are never impacted by the newly

arrived encrypted data. ExaGrid has all previous backups before the ransomware attack that can be

restored immediately. In addition to being able to recover from the most recent deduplicated backup,

the system still retains all the backup data according to the retention requirements.
