431 ExaGrid Testimonials

"The ExaGrid is a terrific product. We were in a terrible spot in regards to our backup times and our disaster recovery situation, but installing the ExaGrid system has solved both problems for us. We no longer have issues meeting our backup window, and we’re able to get complete backups each and every time. The ExaGrid system has done everything we wanted and more."

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."

"We have been so impressed with the ExaGrid system that we are considering using it to back up some of our other systems that are still being backed up via other methods. As a healthcare facility, we deal with sensitive data, and backing up to disk is much more secure than backing up to tape. One of the nice things about the ExaGrid is that it is easily scalable and we can increase its capacity at any time to accommodate more data."

"For what I was going to pay for getting one Dell or EMC device, I’ll be able to buy two of the ExaGrid systems. I’ll be able to accomplish my offsite storage as well as my local storage for the cost of what it would have been for a single Dell EqualLogic box."

"In our business, time is money, and downtime can be calculated in losses of thousands of dollars an hour. Ninety-nine percent of the time, we need to restore data from the most recent backup, but with the Data Domain unit, stored data had to be reconstituted, and the recovery process was long and complicated."

"We looked closely at both products and decided to purchase the ExaGrid system. It was the more cost-effective of the two, we liked the simple management interface, and it was the most scalable."

"No other vendor offered a solution with the performance and scalability that was even comparable. We tested ExaGrid in our environment and it performed just as advertised. The scalability was a huge component."

"The best features of the ExaGrid system are the speed, the time savings, and all the complex things you can do without complexity."

"The speed of my backups since installing the ExaGrid System is incredibly fast. My backup times have been cut by nearly 50%."

"I love the fact that we have a dedicated support engineer. It's so convenient to be able to contact the same person each and every time we have a question about the system or about our backup processes. We don't have to explain things over and over to new people every time we call ExaGrid support."

"ExaGrid's strong data deduplication enabled us to improve our retention from one day to several weeks, making restores far faster and more efficient than they were with tape."

"Because we're not relying on tape, SOX compliance is easier because we can show exactly where our data is at all times electronically, so we don't have to do as much paperwork. Also, we save a considerable amount of time because we're no longer dealing with tape. We don't have to transport tapes offsite, and our restores are incredibly fast because our data is on disk and available at a moment's notice."

"The ability to scale was one of the things we looked closely at. Being able to expand the ExaGrid by just adding another box into the grid was really attractive rather than investing in a system that exceeds capacity and having to do a forklift upgrade. That’s one of the great features of this system."

"What having the ExaGrid system in place has meant to me personally is having peace of mind and trouble-free backups and restores that are reliable and fast. The best features of the ExaGrid system are the deduplication performance and the fact that it’s ‘hands-off."

"Backing up to ExaGrid instead of tape saved us thousands of dollars in license and maintenance fees. We didn't need any additional licenses or maintenance to back up to disk because the ExaGrid simply looks like any other Windows server. That was a tremendous cost savings. There are many different things we can do with the ExaGrid/NetBackup combination that we couldn't do with tape. For example, we can now easily mix retention policies and be more flexible with our data than ever before."
