"Our deduplication numbers are currently running around 15:1. We're quite pleased with that, and the read/write speed is excellent. I've looked at several systems, and I've never seen this kind of result!"

“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.”

"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."

"The ExaGrid system provided all the functionality we needed at a better price than the EMC Data Domain system. We also liked that we could use the ExaGrid system along with our existing backup application, CA ARCserve Backup, so our learning curve was minimized."

"The ExaGrid system fit right into the district's infrastructure and immediately improved retention, restore times, and backup speeds."

"The ExaGrid really does eliminate all of the problems associated with tape, including long backup windows, difficult restore processes and the day-to-day tape management. It's a very simple, clean way to protect valuable data at a price point comparable to tape."

"With the ExaGrid, the last full backup remains available on the landing zone so that we have the latest and greatest information available at our fingertips."

"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."

"If somebody deletes a file within the last two weeks, I can restore within, literally, a minute or two."

"When we were evaluating solutions, we wanted something that would scale as our organization and data requirements grew. ExaGrid gives us peace of mind that we have a robust system in place that can easily scale as our organization and data grows."

"I have peace of mind that I didn't have before. Because our tape process was so complicated and manual, I was the only one who could manage the backups before. Now with the ExaGrid, the backups just run, even if I’m not in the office."

"The cost of the two-site ExaGrid system was far less than the cost of adding a shelf and drives to our SAN. We reclaimed the space on the SAN and got a better backup solution with disaster recovery capabilities for less money."

"When it came down to it, the ExaGrid solution was far more expandable than the EMC Data Domain system. With the EMC Data Domain unit, we worried that if we had to expand the amount of available storage, we’d need to replace the whole system. ExaGrid’s GRID architecture will enable us to add capacity or performance by simply plugging in another unit."

"When I made the purchase from ExaGrid, there were two simple line items – the appliance and the maintenance/support – whereas the quotes from EMC had multiple line items. ExaGrid has no add-ons; everything is included in the appliance purchase with no additional costs or licenses required."

"Unlike the Data Domain system, the ExaGrid system will give us the ability to easily scale the system up as our data grows. It will also enable us to add a second system offsite for data replication."
