“In addition to ExaGrid, we looked at EMC Data Domain. Overall, ExaGrid was the best solution for us, mainly because of the expandability of the system."
"We looked at several different approaches to disk backup with deduplication. Having the most recent backup in full form was key. Restores are seamless and quick and making tape copies is as fast as can be. After a detailed evaluation, ExaGrid was all that we hoped for and more."
"When I first spoke with ExaGrid at a VMware User Group about their system, I thought they were blowing smoke about the ease of use and speed. But when I saw it for my own eyes in our environment, I was amazed and I still am amazed. It's been fantastic."
"Perhaps the most important reason why we decided to go with ExaGrid ahead of its competition was the scalability of its system. It means we have freedom to expand at a later date without incurring major cost or upheaval. We also have the comfort of knowing that their customer support is by far the best we have experienced in the industry."
"Backup jobs that used to take five to six hours are now completed in about 90 minutes."
The ExaGrid is very reliable and I probably spend 90 percent less time managing and administering backups. The system has been extremely reliable and our backups are completed correctly each and every night. It really has taken a lot of the stress out of my job."
"The ExaGrid system offered significantly better price/performance than the other solutions. Some of the other solutions appeared less expensive on the surface, but when we added in ExaGrid's data de-duplication technology, which lets us use less disk space, the ExaGrid came in at approximately 25 percent the cost of competitive solutions."
"The cost of the ExaGrid system was significantly less than the straight SATA solution, and ExaGrid was a great fit."
"ExaGrid's customer support team is excellent. As an IT person I have so many systems that I manage, I place high value on quality support; that's invaluable to me, and ExaGrid's support is the best I've seen."
"With the ExaGrid system, we were able to reduce our backup times from 19 hours to 6.5 hours, even though our data doubled."
"We believe the ExaGrid system is a cost-effective, scalable and flexible solution, and like the fact that it can easily scale up to accommodate more data. We can also choose to deploy additional systems offsite to improve disaster recovery at any point in the future."
"The ExaGrid system is one of the easiest solutions to manage in our entire datacenter. The interface is simple to understand, and it gives me all the information I need to monitor the system in one central location."
"First and foremost, the best thing about the ExaGrid system is its flexibility. It's very scalable in terms of capacity and we were also able to deploy a system offsite for disaster recovery."
"The ExaGrid is one of the best devices I have on my network. It just runs."
"The ExaGrid system has taken the hassle out of our backups. The restores are lightning-fast, our backups now run much faster and more smoothly, and we're able to meet or exceed our retention goals. When you put those results together with top-notch support and a system that's incredibly easy to operate, it's a no-brainer."
