MARLBOROUGH, MASS. -- ExaGrid®, the world’s largest independent backup storage vendor, has announced that it will be an archive storage target for Cohesity DataProtect with its Tiered Backup Storage product line.

Today, ExaGrid supports Cohesity NetBackup with 9 certified integrations. As Cohesity continues to support both NetBackup and DataProtect customers, ExaGrid’s Tiered Backup Storage appliances will continue to work as an archive storage target for all Cohesity customers.

ExaGrid’s support for Cohesity is expected to be Generally Available (GA) in the first half of 2026.

“We’re excited to support Cohesity, including both their NetBackup and DataProtect customers,” said Bill Andrews, President and CEO of ExaGrid. “With customers in over 80 countries, we’re seeing growing interest in Cohesity, and we want to ensure that their investment in ExaGrid remains protected during that transition.”
