Exablox Launching End-to-End Data Protection Infrastructure

StorageCraft Technology Corporation and Exablox Corp. announced that StorageCraft’s solutions are available with Exablox OneBlox; together they deliver data protection for physical and virtual infrastructures.

“Customers have recognized that the gap between primary and secondary storage is disappearing,” said Douglas Brockett, CEO, Exablox. “At the same time that data volumes are growing exponentially, backup windows are shrinking dramatically and data recovery requirements are more demanding. Working together, Exablox and StorageCraft deliver a next-generation solution that addresses this reality. Now customers can get CDP and immediate recovery of their data, combined with deduplicated secondary storage, in a single, scalable solution.“

Exablox’s OneBlox scale-out storage solutions provide customers with file-serving capabilities for primary and secondary storage, including continuous and unlimited snapshots, inline deduplication, compression and offsite replication. Customers can start with a single OneBlox and expand beyond petabyte scale by adding additional OneBlox. By combining OneBlox with StorageCraft’s ShadowProtect, customers can protect desktops as well as physical and virtual infrastructure with fine-grained RPOs and performing recovery – all in a single solution.

StorageCraft’s hardware and hypervisor-independent recovery solution ensures rapid return to service without the need for recreating an exact replica of the failed infrastructure.

“StorageCraft’s ‘zero backup window’ technology has long been the leader in high-performance backup and in rapid and reliable recovery,” said Matt Medeiros, CEO, StorageCraft. “By combining our unified client, server and VM architecture with Exablox’s limitless storage, we’re delivering the data-protection architecture of the future. No barriers, no limits, no complexity.“

That sentiment was endorsed by Zach Wright, IT manager, Travis Mathew, LLC, a long-time StorageCraft and Exablox customer. “We’ve deployed Exablox to get out of the rat-race of chasing forklift upgrades – their scale-out architecture has grown with us as our business has grown, and OneBlox’s CDP protects our file-serving information, enabling instant recovery. StorageCraft has been the backbone of our server and client data-protection strategy thanks to its 15-minute RPO and instant backups. Further, with OneBlox as the storage target, StorageCraft has eliminated our backup window and continually protects our data, in real-time.“
