"We liked that the ExaGrid system backs up the data to a landing zone before it dedupes it instead of deduping it on the fly like the Data Domain solution does. We felt that ExaGrid’s post-processes data deduplication would provide faster backups and restores."

“Using ExaGrid and Veeam has made my job so much easier in terms of managing backups and restores – it’s definitely streamlined the process for us, and it’s very quick and easy to restore data now. The speed with which we restore data, or a virtual machine for that matter, …

"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 …

“Once we put the ExaGrid in place, it was like having a chalkboard and wiping it clean with no backup issues anymore."

“We had a situation where a few of our larger servers had been hit with a virus, so we had to recover the data from our ExaGrid system. The data was completely restored and put into a holding location before we were even able to fix the virus itself—it’s one …

“Working with ExaGrid support is like going to see a family physician. When you call into some other vendors, it’s like going to a walk-in clinic where you see a different doctor each time. With ExaGrid, the support engineers get to know your history like your doctor knows your chart."

“If we didn’t have the latest backup available in a hydrated format (on the ExaGrid landing zone), a restore would be horrifically slow. We have been able to achieve our desired three-month daily retention targets and are very impressed with the inter-site replication from HQ to the DR site.”

“One of the features I love about ExaGrid is its scalability. We will never max out capacity or need a forklift upgrade again, because we can simply add more appliances to the system. Competitors are not able to match that architecture.”

“ExaGrid is extremely reliable which is what we strive for in backup storage. ExaGrid has made my life so much easier."

“In addition to ExaGrid, we looked at EMC Data Domain. Overall, ExaGrid was the best solution for us, mainly because of the expandability of the system."

"[The fire] was chaos, but two to three days after, with ExaGrid being there for me, I was able to pull my data. I was even able to still make payroll that same week because we were up and running with email and all major systems. I relied on my …

“We like that ExaGrid scales quite efficiently and that there are encrypted versions of its appliances at attractive price points. We converted from other technology to ExaGrid and we’re happy with the results. We’ve made it our standard offering and standard go-to-market strategy."

“It used to take up to two days to run an incremental backup of a Microsoft Exchange server for one of our clients. An incremental of that same server now takes one hour! Restoring data is also much faster now that we use ExaGrid and Veeam. Restoring an Exchange server …

“The simplicity of the ExaGrid system is the best thing about it. It’s the easiest piece of the puzzle that I have right now. It hasn’t required anything from me since the initial setup, and that’s what I want in a piece of equipment—something I don’t need to spend much …

“The greatest impact that deduplication has had is on the amount of space consumed for how much data we’ve backed up. For example, we’re backing up 21TB of Oracle data, but it only consumes 200GB!”
