ExaGrid Systems Inc., which makes a disk-based backup and disaster recovery appliance that includes deduplication and replication functionality, has announced a 13-terabyte model, the EX13000E. Because users can use them to build grids of up to 10 devices, the new model means network administrators can now build a grid with a capacity of up to 130 TB, which is a 30 percent improvement over one built with the company’s existing products. The device also has half the power and cooling requirements of previous models, and now offers an encryption option, though the company is not formally announcing it at this time.
