Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance Built on iXsystems Open Source Storage to

be Unveiled at VMWorld 2018

Purpose-Built Backup Appliance for VMware and AWS Merges Award-Winning Asigra Cloud
Backup Evolved Software and iXsystems TrueNAS Storage to Protect Mission Critical Data

Toronto, Canada, August 30, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup, recovery and
restore software provider since 1986, today announced the Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance which
will be shown for the first time in booths 2224 and 2230 at the VMworld conference in Las Vegas this
week. In partnership with iXsystems, the new backup solution combines Asigra Cloud Backup V14
software with iXsystems' TrueNAS storage, featuring the OpenZFS open source file system and volume
management for unprecedented flexibility and data integrity.

The Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance is a physical hardware solution configured with Asigra Cloud
Backup Software version 14. The software converges data protection and cyber security to counter
rapidly growing malware attacks on backup data, including ransomware Attack-Loops™. Asigra Cloud
Backup allows IT and backup administrators to easily and effectively safeguard business data using
extensive automation, powerful features and an intuitive console that simplifies managed backup. The
new solution runs on iXsystems' TrueNAS hybrid storage systems, offering High Availability (HA),
superior scalability, flexibility, data integrity, and ROI. Models include the Asigra TrueNAS Backup
Appliance X10, X20, M40 and M50, providing a range of capacities from 60TB to over 10PB.

Asigra's enterprise-class client and backup system software will also be made available to run on the
hundreds of thousands of FreeNAS systems in deployment, including the FreeNAS Mini. Remote
FreeNAS systems and their associated clients and servers can be backed up via Asigra to a larger
TrueNAS or FreeNAS system with global deduplication, instant recovery and RansomWare protection.

“The Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance brings together two well-respected companies that we have had
the pleasure of working with for many years. This new Appliance makes the implementation of the
Asigra solution much simpler and a very robust approach for enterprise data protection,” said Rob
Didlake, Founder & CEO, Dataedge Solutions.

“Feature-rich, multi-platform data protection capable of scaling on demand is a must for organizations
operating in distributed computing environments, where business information exists across physical,
virtual and cloud-based repositories,” said Brett Davis, Executive Vice President, iXsystems. “With the
evolved state of IT, the Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance significantly reduces complexity and TCO
comparative to legacy solutions, delivering enterprise-ready unified storage with all of the advantages,
reliability, and flexibility made available with the ZFS file system.”

“The Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance is a very compelling choice for MSPs who need to quickly and
reliably build out their backup service infrastructure without undue complexity or costs,” said Eran
Farajun, Executive Vice President, Asigra. “This service provider optimized solution protects data in any
environment, including VMware deployments in AWS, and delivers unrivaled flexibility for Asigra

administrators and the business clients they support.”

As multi-functional storage, the appliances can be used as a general purpose NAS as well, providing
support for every common operating system, hypervisor, and application. The systems provide the choice
of SMB, AFP or NFS for file storage, iSCSI for block storage, or S3-compatible APIs for object storage
appliances and include a future-proof 128-bit “scale up” OpenZFS file system for decades of continuous
use. All systems scale seamlessly as needed, offer flexible snapshotting and replication, and unrivaled
data integrity with self-healing bit rot mitigation.

Pricing and Availability

The Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance is available immediately through authorized partners and will be
shown for the first time at Asigra's VMworld booth #2230 and iXsystems' booth #2224. Pricing starts at
$10,000 for an appliance configured with 60TB of storage and scales based on configuration.
