“When we moved into the new ballpark, we anticipated a forty to sixty percent data growth rate. However, we’re now looking at a one hundred percent growth rate, year over year, and it shows no sign of slowing down. We store a lot of graphics and digital media, including game video and commercial files, and it’s a massive amount of information.”

“Backing up terabytes of data requires a huge number of tapes, and that’s a big outlay of money. Sometimes people might think that they’re not going to save money using disk because it costs more, but when you think about it, the cost of tape is pretty expensive, and the benefits of using ExaGrid—the savings from deduplication and the restore speeds—blow tape out of the water.”

“One of the things I like about ExaGrid is that if I ever need to add more storage, I can just add another appliance to the system. My Data Domain systems were fully populated and starting to run out of disk space at their end of life. I was not able to expand them anymore, or add any storage.”

"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."

"With ExaGrid, I don’t have to deal with tapes on a weekly basis. Instead, we run archives once a month at night. That means that I’m not busy first thing Monday morning, retrying failed jobs from the weekly fulls and I’m not in work Sunday morning. All I have to do is to monitor backups to make sure they run. I don’t have to deal with any more tape."

"The ExaGrid system has really reduced the amount of time our backups take and it delivers extremely fast tape copy performance. Cloning our backups to tape takes no time whatsoever."

"After installing the ExaGrid, I have confidence in our backups that I didn't have previously."

"The ExaGrid has proven to be a real time saver. We were able to streamline our backup processes and cut our backup times in half. Also, our restores are much, much faster now. Restoring data from tape used to take hours, but it takes just minutes with the ExaGrid."

"When we looked around at various backup approaches, we found that there were lots of products on the market that can do a good job at basic backup, but crucial for us was the reliability and speed of restores. That’s where the ExaGrid system really hit the ball out of the park."

"We have been extremely pleased with the speed of our backups using ExaGrid. We're able to back up all of our data onto disk and it's seamless. Our backups are now streamlined and painless, and restores are nearly instantaneous. With ExaGrid, we know that backups are completed each night, we have room for future growth, and we have a disaster recovery scenario. It gives us a nice comfort level."

"As a healthcare provider, we need to have access to a significant amount of retention to adhere to HIPAA regulations ... Because of ExaGrid’s strong data deduplication technology ... we’re seeing data deduplication ratios as high as 40:1."

"The ExaGrid was significantly less expensive than the other system we were considering, and we felt that ExaGrid’s post-process data deduplication technology would provide faster backups versus the competitor’s inline data deduplication approach. We didn’t want a situation where the backup software was waiting on the appliance. We’ve been very happy with both ExaGrid’s data deduplication and its backup speed."

"We realized how fortunate we were that we had the ExaGrid systems in both locations. In the event that we needed to go into full disaster recovery mode, we could have quickly switched over and been up and running in no time."

"The installation went really well. ExaGrid support ensured everything was up and running - it was really smooth."

"The previous network administrator said that he spent 75% of his time doing backups. Now, thanks to the ExaGrid, I spend just a few minutes a day. Having the ExaGrid system in place enables me to focus on other important parts of my job."
