“Restoring data with the ExaGrid is almost instantaneous. Trying to do that with tape was so time consuming and tedious. With the ExaGrid, the data files are right at our fingertips and easy to retrieve.”

"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."

"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 …

"We looked closely at solutions from both ExaGrid and Data Domain and found that we liked ExaGrid's post-process data deduplication better than Data Domain’s inline method…The ExaGrid system was also more cost-effective and scalable than the Data Domain unit."

"We looked at an EMC Data Domain solution but didn't like its inline data deduplication methodology. The ExaGrid system seemed so straightforward to use and its post-process data deduplication made more sense."

"Being able to cut our backup times by that much has relieved a lot of stress. Not only are the backup times much shorter but the backups themselves are much more reliable."

"EMC Data Domain was more expensive, but in our analysis, you don’t get much more for the extra cost. We chose ExaGrid because we were able to get the backup capabilities and performance we needed for a lot less money than EMC Data Domain."

"When we purchased the ExaGrid system, scalability was definitely a requirement for us. We’ve already grown our ExaGrid to handle more data, and the process of adding another unit to the GRID couldn’t have been easier. The system is easy to use and it works beautifully – and with its …

"Before I even leave for work in the morning, I check my smartphone to make sure that the backup jobs ran correctly overnight. When I arrive at work, I don’t have to change tapes or troubleshoot backup jobs. Installing the ExaGrid has given me hours back in my workday."

"We simply couldn’t justify the cost of a new EMC Data Domain unit. In fact, the cost of the two-site ExaGrid unit was approximately what we would have paid for three years of maintenance on a new EMC Data Domain system."

"We researched a couple of other backup solutions, but the issue we had with every single one of them was the amount of preprocess work that needed to be done before the data hit the disk. In each case, backup speed was a major concern for us. With the ExaGrid …

“Our data growth has been fairly constant, but in our industry, you have to plan for the unforeseen. We’re confident that the ExaGrid system will be able to expand to handle anything in the future."

“We narrowed the field down to systems from ExaGrid and Data Domain. We looked closely at the value propositions from both companies and selected the ExaGrid system based on its tight integration with our existing backup application and with VMware. We were also impressed with the scalability of ExaGrid’s GRID …

“ExaGrid’s data deduplication technology does a fantastic job at compressing our data. I checked our ExaGrid system recently and expected it to be close to full but we had over 70 percent of our disk space available.”

“We had been burdened with non-scalable solutions in the past, so ExaGrid’s GRID architecture was a big selling point."
