"The ExaGrid system was far more cost effective than continuously adding disk, and its data deduplication technology works very well at reducing our data. ExaGrid’s strong deduplication enables us to maximize disk space."
“The ExaGrid system does a great job reducing storage requirements for our backup data so we can keep more data on-site and available for restores. We have to do individual restores often and the ExaGrid system makes restores easy because the data is always available to us and we don’t have to mess with tape.”
"We’ve worked closely with ExaGrid on our backup infrastructure and have been extremely pleased with the product, customer support, and the company as a whole. The folks at ExaGrid go the extra mile, and we consider them to be a trusted partner."
"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."
"The ExaGrid system is very well integrated with the CommVault system and they work together seamlessly. In addition, the ExaGrid customer support staff is not only knowledgeable about their own product, but they understand CommVault as well. Integration is often the most difficult part of setting up a new system, but ExaGrid's customer support knew exactly how to configure the system so that we were up and running quickly."
"The support we receive from ExaGrid is simply the best I’ve experienced in the industry."
"With our data growth, we needed a solution beyond simply buying more tapes. We were running out of space and running out of tapes – there weren't enough tapes in the entire library to back up what we needed."
"Tape libraries require a considerable amount of manual intervention and we spent hours each month changing tapes, replacing broken tapes and dealing with other issues. The ExaGrid system has significantly reduced the amount of time we spend on backups and restores."
"The ExaGrid system was cutting edge in terms of technology, and it offered superior price/performance over the EMC Data Domain solution. We were impressed with ExaGrid’s post-process data deduplication technology and liked that the data was backed up to a landing zone and then deduped. It just made total sense."
"We recently had to go in and rebuild our entire backup system, and it was relatively painless. With tape, it would have been a nightmare, but it took no time at all with the ExaGrid system."
"With the ExaGrid system, we are now able to complete our backups well within our windows each and every day. We're no longer stressed about getting our backups completed before the start of the work day and we're meeting our goals with ease."
"The ExaGrid really has taken a lot of the pain out of our backups. Our backups and restores are faster and more efficient, and we don’t have to manage tape anymore. It’s been a great solution for us."
"Restores with the ExaGrid are extremely fast. I no longer have to dig through a box of tapes in order to restore a file."
"We can easily scale the ExaGrid system to back up more data in the future. Looking forward, we can also add a second system to replicate data and to further reduce our reliance on tape."
"The ExaGrid system is inherently scalable. When the system's capacity is expanded, processing power and memory are also increased so that the processing is shared between servers. In some of the other products we looked at, disk space is added but the amount of processing power and memory stays the same. We know that when the time is right we can expand the ExaGrid system to handle more data."
