Tiered Backup Storage recognized in inaugural StorageNewsletter Awards

MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExaGrid^®, the leader in Tiered Backup Storage, today announced that it has been honored with an award in the Secondary Storage category from the first annual StorageNewsletter Awards.

The winners of the StorageNewsletter Awards were chosen by a seven-member jury who selected the vendors for each category. “A long-standing innovator, ExaGrid has played a key role in shaping a new era of secondary storage with its scale-out architecture.
