“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.”

"I love the ExaGrid system! I used to walk into the office each morning and face a long list of failed backup jobs along with hours and hours of troubleshooting. Now, our backup jobs are completed without fail, each and every night."

"For what I was going to pay for getting one Dell or EMC device, I’ll be able to buy two of the ExaGrid systems. I’ll be able to accomplish my offsite storage as well as my local storage for the cost of what it would have been for a single …

"We've been extremely impressed with the ExaGrid system and how it works seamlessly with Backup Exec. The ability for us to keep our investment in our existing infrastructure has been huge. It's simplified our backups and given us the reliability that we needed."

"The ExaGrid system enables our staff to be far more efficient because we're not spending so much time on managing backups. It's also saved us money. In fact, we're saving nearly $800 each month in tape costs alone," said Firkins. "It's been a terrific solution for our company."

"We are now experiencing ratios of about 40:1, which gives us a lot more capacity and flexibility to scale."

"The time that we spend managing our backups has been cut considerably using the ExaGrid. Our tape library was cantankerous and didn't want to work half the time. When you only have a few tape drives and just one of them goes down, it really puts a crimp in things …

"Moving to the ExaGrid system has made a big difference in the efficiency of our backups. Our backups are completed in record time each and every night. Also, the replication works beautifully and it's extremely fast. It's typically finished by 4 AM."

"Going forward, scalability will become more and more important for us as our data continues to grow and our retention needs to be extended. We have records in our database going back seven years already, and as government regulations change, we’ll need to keep data even longer. The ExaGrid will …

"We liked the idea of the ExaGrid GRID architecture and the sizable landing pad for a full, uncompressed backup set. I also liked the post-processing deduplication. In my view, ExaGrid’s technology, marketing, and pricing are superior."

"We were immediately impressed with the seamless integration between Veeam and the ExaGrid system."

"Before we purchased our two-site ExaGrid system, we performed a cost analysis that showed installing two ExaGrid systems would cost less over time than tape. When you consider the cost of tape, transportation and the amount of time our IT staff had devoted to managing tape and performing restores, purchasing …

"ExaGrid's data deduplication technology does a fantastic job at reducing our data. We're able to keep 16 weeks of information online in the same amount of disk space we had on our old system that could hold only one week of retention."

"The ExaGrid system has made daily backup processes much faster and simpler. Our weekly backups have been reduced by over 50 percent and our daily backups have been reduced by one-third."

"It was easy to discount [the option of] adding more straight disk, as not only was that approach more expensive than the ExaGrid solution, but simply adding disk provided no improvement in our backup performance."
