"I was looking for a disk-based backup solution that I didn’t have to worry about—a set-it-and-forget-it type of system. Our partner recommended ExaGrid, and we felt that it was a good fit."
"We're in the insurance business, and ExaGrid's GRID architecture acts as a policy against having to ‘rip and replace’ our backup infrastructure when our backup needs increase. [ExaGrid and Veeam] work extremely well together and have essentially solved our backup issues."
“Now that we’re using ExaGrid, I spend almost no time at all on backups. I get an email each day letting me know that my backups ran successfully overnight and that’s it – no tape hassles or unexpected hours spent fighting with backups."
“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.”
