ExaGrid Systems, Inc. (http://www.exagrid.com), the leader in cost-effective and scalable disk-based backup solutions with byte-level data de-duplication, today announced that Concord Camera has chosen the ExaGrid system to achieve faster, more reliable backups and restores.
Based in Hollywood, Florida, Concord Camera Corp. designs, develops, manufactures and markets on a worldwide basis, popularly priced, easy-to-use image capture products. Concord distributes image capture solutions under such trademarks as CONCORD®, EASYSHOT® JENOPTIK® and POLAROID®, and the company’s award-winning products include digital cameras (VGA to 8Megapixel), Single Use and 35mm traditional film cameras, and emerging multimedia devices, such as digital video camcorders.
“The ExaGrid system was more cost-effective than other solutions, and we were impressed with ExaGrid’s post-process approach to data de-duplication,” said Jose Lopez, senior IT network administrator for Concord Camera. “The ExaGrid system quickly lands a full backup onto the system and then starts performing data de-duplication; while other products perform data de-duplication inline before the data is fully backed up. We believed that the ExaGrid solution would provide higher performance, and we’ve been very happy.”
ExaGrid’s data de-duplication technology stores changes from backup to backup instead of storing full file copies. This unique approach reduces the disk space required by 10:1 to 50:1 or more, delivering unparalleled cost savings and performance. ExaGrid delivers extremely fast backup performance because data is written directly to disk, and data de-duplication is performed post-process, after the data is stored.
The ExaGrid system works alongside Concord’s backup application, CA® ARCserve Backup, and is located at Concord’s headquarters in Hollywood. Since installing ExaGrid, Concord’s full backup completion times have been significantly reduced and restores are also faster.
“Restore speed is critical to us for disaster recovery planning and because we perform restores on a routine basis,” said Lopez. “Restoring data from tape was a time consuming process, however restoring even our largest files from the ExaGrid system takes just minutes.”
“ExaGrid’s proven approach to high-performance disk-based backup with data de-duplication provides backup and recovery that’s quick, painless and cost-effective,” said Bill Andrews, president and CEO of ExaGrid. “And, by reducing or eliminating tape, our customers’ backup processes are faster and more reliable, making IT departments more efficient while providing the highest levels of data protection.”
