ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage wins the award for Secondary Storage for 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. Originally built around HDDs, the platform now supports SSDs and continues to gain market share at a rapid pace, driven by a strong channel ecosystem and broad validation from numerous backup software vendors. Through continuous feature enhancements, the team has led this segment for many years, and the outlook for future growth remains very promising,” said Philippe Nicolas, owner and editor of StorageNewsletter and jury president of the StorageNewsletter Awards 2026.

ExaGrid has gained substantial recognition for its Tiered Backup Storage, winning 24 industry awards over the past three years. ExaGrid is the largest independent of backup storage in the industry, and its customer base has grown to over 5,000 organizations who are actively installed, all while maintaining healthy financials with 20 consecutive quarters of positive P&L, EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow.

ExaGrid continues to innovate its Tiered Backup Storage, and over the past year has expanded its comprehensive security features with AI-Powered Retention Time-Lock for Ransomware Recovery, as well as adding SSD appliance models to its existing line of award-winning HDD appliance models.

“We are honored to win the Secondary Storage Award at the first annual StorageNewsletter Awards,” said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid. “ExaGrid is committed to offering the best backup storage solution on the market, and we are grateful for the continued recognition of our Tiered Backup Storage.”
