431 ExaGrid Testimonials

"[The fire] was chaos, but two to three days after, with ExaGrid being there for me, I was able to pull my data. I was even able to still make payroll that same week because we were up and running with email and all major systems. I relied on my ExaGrid system and it delivered.”

"First and foremost, the best thing about the ExaGrid system is its flexibility. It's very scalable in terms of capacity and we were also able to deploy a system offsite for disaster recovery."

“The robustness and dependability of the system, and the fact that it’s easy to manage, makes ExaGrid the perfect solution.”

"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."

"We don’t have to buy straight disk anymore. If we were to buy all those disks, we would need more floor space, which would be very costly."

"With the ExaGrid, we can add storage on the fly and the system will automatically load balance the data across multiple disks. And because we can add capacity in small increments, it's cost-effective because we only need to purchase enough disk to meet our needs."

"Our IT department's backup administration work has dropped about 90 percent since we started using ExaGrid. The whole tape management process has been eliminated. Now all those hours we'd spend on handling tape can be spent on other important IT initiatives."

"The ExaGrid has cut our annual backup costs by several thousands of dollars just on tape purchases and travel expenses alone. While tape systems do seem to cost less up front, we’ve gained savings on the management and disaster recovery sides with the ExaGrid system."

"One of the things that stood out about the ExaGrid was its ability to scale in both performance and retention by adding additional units to the original system."

"Since installing the ExaGrid system, one of the biggest areas of improvement has been in disaster recovery. We can now do multiple restores at once, whereas in the past we’ve only been able to perform two at a time. We’ve been able to cut the amount of time that it will take to completely recover from a disaster from 60 hours down to just 12."

"We never could have backed up the amount of data we're generating now with tape. We looked carefully at solutions from ExaGrid and Data Domain and were immediately impressed by ExaGrid's price/performance. The ExaGrid system was far more cost-effective than the Data Domain, and we liked its approach to data deduplication as well as the customer support model. ExaGrid's customer support is second to none."

"We're seeing tremendous dedupe ratios. What would have taken a hundred tapes now just takes a fraction of the available disk space on our ExaGrid system. We can go back through a month of data – over 100TB – if we need to right on the ExaGrid. It really is unheard of."

"For us, cost was a key factor in selecting ExaGrid. We wanted a system that was cost effective but also gave us the backup and restore performance and retention we required - the ExaGrid does just that."

"We looked at a lot of different solutions but in the end, ExaGrid offered the most cost-effective and scalable solution. And the fact that we didn't have to change much of our existing backup infrastructure investment was a slam dunk."

"The ExaGrid system was a good fit for our infrastructure. We liked its small footprint and the fact that its data deduplication technology would help us pack more data into our disk storage."
