"With our data growth, we needed a solution beyond simply buying more tapes. We were running out of space and running out of tapes – there weren't enough tapes in the entire library to back up what we needed."
“ExaGrid and other competitors were evaluated by the City in conjunction with Gartner and they recommended the ExaGrid systems based on cost and the City’s requirements. The ExaGrid system was approximately 60% lower than the other systems reviewed by the City [It’s] been a great solution for us. It’s really improved the speed and efficiency of our backups and restores, and it has the scalability we need for the future.”
"The ExaGrid system is a device that is purpose-built for backups, and it offered all the features we were looking for in a single package. And because the system was cost-effective to acquire, it made it even more attractive to purchase a second system for disaster recovery."
“Before ExaGrid, I had no idea what was getting backed up – or even if the system was getting backed up at all. Now, I have the knowledge of what’s taken place in our backup environment.”
“The ExaGrid landing zone is a game changer – wow! ExaGrid’s unique offering has saved us tremendously. When you can justify it from two vantage points – from a disaster recovery/business continuity standpoint as well as from a simplistic backup standpoint – you’ve got far more leverage to get hardware purchased by management.”
“It was quite a process to deal with a middleman between the NAS and Veeam, which was cut out when we switched to ExaGrid. Now, it’s a much simpler solution to set up."
“Our ExaGrid support engineer is awesome; he’s very helpful and resourceful when needed. While I was on vacation, he looked at the system and noticed that there were potential failing hard drives on one of our appliances. He proactively arranged for a replacement and everything was fine."
“I like using ExaGrid! I’ll recommend it to anybody who is looking for a new system.”
“In our previous solutions, the products we used hardly integrated at all [Backup] is definitely better now that we are using Veeam with ExaGrid."
“With Veeam and ExaGrid, I can restore a virtual machine in as little as 15 minutes, or I can do an instant recovery in even less time. The whole process is a thousand times less painful than before; there is no digging through tapes to find the right one. I just pull it up, restore it, and I’m on my way.”
“What had taken up to 100TB of storage on disk arrays takes only a third of the space, about 30TB, on the ExaGrid system. My budget is going to go a lot further using ExaGrid compared to straight disk, and ExaGrid’s deduplication is a major factor in the cost savings.”
