431 ExaGrid Testimonials

"We really needed a product with strong data deduplication, so we narrowed down the field to the ExaGrid and EMC Data Domain solutions. In the end, we were more confident in the ExaGrid system. We liked ExaGrid’s approach to data deduplication, and it’s proven to be very effective at reducing our data."

"The way the ExaGrid system compresses data is impressive. We are now able to retain three months of data on-site on the ExaGrid and it gives us a comfort level we didn't have with tape. And since our data is always readily available on disk, we can perform restores quickly at any time."

“The ExaGrid system was extremely cost effective, and we liked the idea that we could quickly and easily add appliances to the GRID to increase capacity and performance.”

"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."

"We've been very impressed with ExaGrid's simplicity. We have a fairly lean IT staff here and don't have a whole lot of extra time to take care of high maintenance devices. The ExaGrid was very easy to set up and it's easy to administer."
