“I estimate that I save 75% of my time chasing backup storage issues. The length of our backup window was the big issue – we simply could not get the jobs done.”

"One of the things we like about the ExaGrid system is its scalability. We have some mergers on the horizon, so we don’t have a firm grasp on our long-range data growth. The fact that we can easily expand the system made us much more comfortable about the purchase."

"I used to have employees who were stuck managing services and backups every day. Now I have them back on more useful projects. It also means that I have the security of knowing that I have all the data I need if something was to happen here."

"With ExaGrid, we found that we could have our two locations managed by a single interface with error reporting and all the other bells and whistles we were looking for. With Data Domain, we couldn’t manage two locations with one interface."

"Backing up our data to the ExaGrid system instead of to tape saves our backup engineer 10 hours a week just on management and administration alone. He used to swap out several hundred tapes per week, and now he manages fewer than 20."

"Our ExaGrid engineer knows us and knows our environment. I just can’t say enough about how valuable that is to us. We now base all of our support contracts with other vendors on the level of support that we receive from ExaGrid. It should be an industry standard."

"Restores have been unbelievably fast. We recently had to restore a large directory from our CAD system and it was flawless. It was like night and day compared to fighting with our old tape backup system."

"The ExaGrid system was more cost effective than Avamar … We were also impressed with ExaGrid's GRID architecture because it will enable us to expand the system in the future without doing a forklift upgrade."

"The ExaGrid is incredibly reliable and it performs consistently each and every night. The system is rock solid, and we very rarely experience issues. I probably spend 75 percent less time managing and administering backups."

"We really needed a product with strong data deduplication, so we narrowed down the field to the ExaGrid and EMC Data Domain solutions. In the end, we were more confident in the ExaGrid system. We liked ExaGrid’s approach to data deduplication, and it’s proven to be very effective at reducing our data."

"The system is easy to use and manage, upgrades are painless, and it’s backed by some of the best customer support in the industry. We’ve been very happy with the ExaGrid system."

"It's wonderful to have so much data at our fingertips, and restores are unbelievably fast. We struggled to restore data from tape. Half the battle was just finding the correct tape, and we often had to hike across the street to dig out the physical tape, put it in and search from there for the right file. Restoring data from the ExaGrid is a breeze. I was recently able to restore a full Access database in minutes."

"Full backup jobs on our document management system that used to take about four days to run have been reduced to about 30 hours. In the old days with tape, we could only run one backup job at a time, but since we installed the ExaGrid system, I can run up to four jobs simultaneously to the same folder. The entire backup window has shrunk from a week down to a weekend."

"We're amazed at how much our backup times have been reduced and how quickly we're able to restore files. Since installing the ExaGrid, our backup times have been cut in half and we're able to restore some files almost instantaneously."

"I’d highly recommend the system. It’s really taken the worry out of our day-to-day backups, and it has the flexibility to grow to meet future demands."
