“ExaGrid technical support is provided in French, which is quite rare to find in the IT sector!”
"With our old Data Domain unit, we needed to do a 'forklift upgrade' to improve retention. Now, with the ExaGrid system, we can easily add retention by plugging another unit into the GRID."
"I like the fact that the ExaGrid really doesn't require much user intervention. Everything is automated so I don’t have to worry about whether our backups were completed correctly or not. I get daily emails letting me know that everything was backed up successfully and I don’t have to worry about tapes anymore."
"We are expanding our use of VMware and it was becoming a real challenge to put the images onto tape. With the ExaGrid system, we are receiving 61:1 compression for our VMware images and our recovery times are far better. We can recover a VMware server in about ten minutes. With tape, recovering the same VMware server would have taken half a day."
"The ExaGrid system gives us a great deal of flexibility. Not only can it grow easily in terms of capacity, but we can also add a second ExaGrid system at some point in the future and completely eliminate tape."
"The ExaGrid system takes a lot of pain out of our backups. Our backup times are far better than they were with tape and we no longer have to deal with managing and administering nearly 160 tapes per month. For us, it's wonderful to have the data on hand and ready in case a customer needs to restore information. Our clients are happier because we can offer them faster access to their data and we can offer them more fl exible options to enhance their backup strategies."
"When we added the ExaGrid, we didn't change how we were doing things; we simply changed the target. It's been flawless! We basically set it and forget it."
"Using ExaGrid, we will recover 50% of the live disk space we had allocated to backups and reduce the cost of redundant backups across the WAN."
"We lost nearly 15 virtual machines, but we were able to quickly recover thanks to the combination of Veeam and ExaGrid."
"We were spending lots of time and money on our old backup solution to try to make it work, but it just didn't have the enterprise functionality we needed. With ExaGrid, we don't have to worry about backups anymore, so we can spend our time on value-added projects that can really move the institution forward."
"The ExaGrid system played a major role in saving us from a catastrophe for sure!"
"We recently lost our document imaging server. Using the ExaGrid, it took just 35 minutes to do a complete restore of the data. It would have taken much longer with tape, providing none of the tapes had errors on them!"
"At Kingston, we're actively working to reduce our energy consumption and are very sensitive to power and cooling issues. The ExaGrid unit is compact and efficient and its data deduplication technology enables us to pack more data onto our system. It's helping us to maximize our datacenter space to reduce our power consumption."
"We have 20-plus locations to deal with, multiple states and time zones, and business-critical data that we simply cannot afford to lose. We can't afford to be down, and we need to be able to restore data at a moment's notice. The ExaGrid system was the perfect choice for us."
"The ExaGrid system has taken the headaches out of our daily backup processes. I monitor the system each and every day, but I don't have to worry anymore about our backups. It's a set it and forget it type of solution to backups. The ExaGrid system enables us to work more effectively because we can now spend the time we used to spend on backups on higher priority things."
