431 ExaGrid Testimonials

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

"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 liked the ExaGrid system because it was purpose-built for backup and its GRID architecture will enable us to add appliances for increased capacity and performance at any time.”

"I really like ExaGrid's support model of dedicating a support person to each customer. My support engineer is very familiar with ARCserve, and that's been really helpful. He's been very responsive and knowledgeable."

"Retention was a serious issue with our old backup infrastructure because we could only keep four weeks of data at a time. Now, with the ExaGrid, we’re able to keep 16 weeks’ retention. ExaGrid’s data deduplication technology is very effective at reducing our data, so it takes up a smaller footprint."

"The two universities are still working out how to best integrate both networks, but the fact that the ExaGrid can easily scale up could turn out to be a big plus. The ExaGrid is a very flexible system and if needed, we can easily add more capacity and increase performance to handle more data."

"The ExaGrid system has made a big impact in the amount of time we spend on daily management and on restores. I used to spend a couple of hours a day on backup-related tasks and now I spend about ten minutes."

"In the end, it was easy to justify the cost of moving to ExaGrid. When we considered the cost of upgrading our tape libraries and the ongoing cost associated with maintaining and managing tapes, it was a no brainer financially."

"We looked at several different approaches to disk backup with deduplication. Having the most recent backup in full form was key. Restores are seamless and quick and making tape copies is as fast as can be. After a detailed evaluation, ExaGrid was all that we hoped for and more."

"For us, one of the main strengths of the ExaGrid system is its ability to run 20 to 30 concurrent backup jobs at once. That functionality alone makes our backups run so much faster."

"We have been so impressed with the ExaGrid system that we are considering using it to back up some of our other systems that are still being backed up via other methods. As a healthcare facility, we deal with sensitive data, and backing up to disk is much more secure than backing up to tape. One of the nice things about the ExaGrid is that it is easily scalable and we can increase its capacity at any time to accommodate more data."

"We compared both solutions and liked ExaGrid’s data deduplication method better than the EMC Data Domain solution. The ExaGrid system was also more cost-effective. We were able to stretch our budget dollars further with the ExaGrid."

"We looked at several different approaches and decided on the ExaGrid system. We were impressed with its data deduplication technology and we liked the fact that it was a simple, straightforward solution. It was also far more costeffective than the other systems we looked at."

"In our testing, we saw a huge performance advantage over tape with the ExaGrid system. ExaGrid's approach to backup is very efficient and it decreased the load on the backup server. This wasn't the case with a competing solution that uses a de-duplication on-the-fly based approach, though efficient, it caused our backup times to increase."

"We now have the ability to provide any of our users with a near instant restore. This is satisfying to us in the IT team and really helps us to deliver an excellent service. Our users can be confident that the technology is behind them to deliver world class service to their clients and never waste another billable hour again."
