ExaGrid®, a leading provider of intelligent hyperconverged storage for backup with data deduplication, today announced a new data backup and storage solution with Acronis®. The new solution is designed to help organizations meet the challenges of data growth and management at remote sites. Many organizations have up to hundreds or even thousands of remote and edge locations, or sites, such as sales offices, franchises, retail outlets, etc. These remote sites commonly do not have dedicated IT staff, yet the company data must be backed up on a daily or nightly basis.
