“Putting the ExaGrid system in place let us build a solid foundation for our backup infrastructure, and its scalability will enable us to easily add capacity in the future. In the future, we can also add a second system for disaster recovery to further reduce our reliance on tape.”
"It's really great to have online backups at our disposal. Since the backups reside on our network and are available 24/7, file restores are completed very quickly, often remotely, and our endusers are back up and running within minutes."
“Our backup is easier to manage, with much less stress. I know that if I need to restore a VM, it’s there for me. There’s ROI on our time and on our operations.”
"We recently had to restore two SQL databases containing 30 GB and 10 GB of data and the entire process was completed within 30 minutes. It would have taken forever with tape but it was just a point and click operation with the ExaGrid system."
"We have a lot of redundant data, and ExaGrid’s data deduplication technology does a fantastic job at reducing it. We’re able to keep far more data on hand and accessible for restores."
"Our support engineer's knowledge is beyond expert-level, in terms of the ExaGrid product, Backup Exec, and Linux. When he needs to actually get into the ExaGrid system to look around, he can remote in and talk to the system at the OS level."
"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."
"After looking at systems from Symantec, CommVault, EMC Data Domain and Quantum, we decided on the ExaGrid system based on its approach to data deduplication and its scalability."
"We’ve worked closely with ExaGrid on our backup infrastructure and have been extremely pleased with the product, customer support, and the company as a whole. The folks at ExaGrid go the extra mile, and we consider them to be a trusted partner."
"ExaGrid's customer support staff is terrific. They have a wide range of expertise in the backup arena and have been both proactive in helping us with our implementation and responsive to our requests for assistance. Since installing our ExaGrid systems, we've been able to streamline our backup processes, gain faster backups and restores and eliminate tape."
"We handle sensitive data and we are always mindful of data security. Using the ExaGrid system to handle our backups has improved our data security. Once the files are on the ExaGrid, they're locked into the system and the only access to it is via our backup server. With a network attached storage box, there's the possibility that the data can be hacked. With tape backups, tapes can be lost or stolen. ExaGrid gives us a higher degree of confidence in our data security."
"The ExaGrid system provides a great return on investment. We will be able to eliminate the cost of tape and tape drives and we won't have to spend valuable IT staff time on managing and transporting tapes. Also, the fact that the ExaGrid system worked right out of the box with our existing backup application meant that we didn't have to purchase or learn another new application."
"I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better service model than ExaGrid’s. We have a single point of contact in the support organization and our engineer knows us, knows our environment and understands our challenges and goals."
"Today is like night and day from where we were! Our backup window is down to eight hours, and we've been able to redeploy the time we used to spend managing our tape backups to more important initiatives."
"Our data has grown tremendously in the past four years – we never could have backed it all up to tape."
