"Our data has grown tremendously in the past four years – we never could have backed it all up to tape."

“The deduplication with ExaGrid is great, especially when used with Veeam, because we are basically getting double dedupe.”

“Our backups had previously been taking nearly 24 hours a day, but now they’re running for only about 90 minutes. We still can’t get over how dramatic the improvement is.”

"Restoring a fairly large directory from the ExaGrid system takes about 90 seconds. Restoring the same directory from tape would have taken a day and a half. We've been extremely impressed with ExaGrid's restore speeds. It has made a tremendous difference in our day-to-day IT operations because we can spend more time on other duties instead of on managing backups and restores."

"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."
