"Our IT department runs lean, as do so many others these days. Given that, ExaGrid taking care of the system for us is a godsend. You just don't find that with other vendors without a huge price tag! ExaGrid's support is, in my opinion, the best in the business!"
"I learned about forklift upgrades and how much it was going to cost me. I couldn't believe it. We’re trying to use our budget intelligently, and that’s not intelligent to me. I turned to my reseller because I trust him, and he told me that they’re no longer recommending Data Domain and that I should look at ExaGrid."
"For what I was going to pay for getting one Dell or EMC device, I’ll be able to buy two of the ExaGrid systems. I’ll be able to accomplish my offsite storage as well as my local storage for the cost of what it would have been for a single Dell EqualLogic box."
“ExaGrid’s data de-duplication technology has been very effective at reducing our data, and it has made the replication between sites fast and efficient. Our compression numbers have been high and we’re able to keep a considerable amount of data on our ExaGrid system.”
“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.”
“The ExaGrid system is easy to use. Configuration is easy and the reports and data generated are clear and concise. It’s a very intuitive product. We have had an unbelievable experience with ExaGrid’s customer support. Our support engineer is extremely knowledgeable and proactive and he’s always willing to go the extra mile. Even when we call off-hours, he’s always available.”
“The ExaGrid was extremely cost-effective, and when we realized we could recover our investment in a little over a year, it was a no-brainer.”
“Deduplication has enabled us to retain more data and keep older recovery points—some that go back up to two years— where we could only store a few months’ worth when we used a tape system.”
“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.”
“ExaGrid technical support is provided in French, which is quite rare to find in the IT sector!”
“The entire system is monitored by our ExaGrid support engineer. if a drive fails, he notifies us and sends out another one. We don’t have to think about maintenance, and thats critical in a collocated environment.”
“We don’t need to worry about our backups. ExaGrid just works and it’s so simple to use, especially compared with other backup products I’ve used in the past."
“One of the major selling points of using ExaGrid with Veeam is the ability to stand up a VM almost immediately with just a couple of clicks. When I need to do an instant VM restore or create a clone copy, it’s amazing how easy it is."
“I’m very happy with the combination of ExaGrid and Veeam. I don’t want to use anything else.”
“Whenever I call ExaGrid support, whether I need to replace a drive or need help with a project I am working on, the support engineer is very helpful.”
