431 ExaGrid Testimonials

"The ExaGrid system was the clear winner. The price and performance were good. It was easy to implement and it fit right into our existing environment. We were also able to deploy a two-site system that enables us to replicate data to our disaster recovery site."

“Now that we’re using ExaGrid, I spend almost no time at all on backups. I get an email each day letting me know that my backups ran successfully overnight and that’s it – no tape hassles or unexpected hours spent fighting with backups."

“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 would take up to four days, but now we are able to restore an Exchange server in four hours!”

"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 whereas backing up to disk, you can write hundreds of streams simultaneously."

"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 easily scale to meet our needs well into the future."

"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 the ExaGrid system is a no-brainer."

"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."
