“ExaGrid’s data deduplication technology does a fantastic job at compressing our data. I checked our ExaGrid system recently and expected it to be close to full but we had over 70 percent of our disk space available.”
"In our business, time is money, and downtime can be calculated in losses of thousands of dollars an hour. Ninety-nine percent of the time, we need to restore data from the most recent backup, but with the Data Domain unit, stored data had to be reconstituted, and the recovery process was long and complicated."
"For us, one of the main strengths of the ExaGrid system is its ability to run 20 to 30 concurrent backup jobs at once. That functionality alone makes our backups run so much faster."
"The ExaGrid system has enabled us to reduce our backup times and we've doubled the amount of online backup data that we retain. The system works as we envisioned it would."
"The system was more cost effective than some of the other solutions we looked at. It was less expensive to acquire and we were able to use it along with our existing backup application and tape drive. It was also more advantageous to purchase the ExaGrid system in terms of licensing and maintenance. We were able to set the system up ourselves and it's easy to manage and administer. When we factored all that in with the reduced tape and transportation costs, it was an easy choice."
"With ExaGrid, we can implement data retention policies on a per-customer or per-industry basis to meet individual customer requirements. In the long run, it will enable us to customize our services for a particular industry or customer and back it up with real results."
"The cost of the ExaGrid system was considerably less than purchasing new tape libraries and we no longer have to worry about the mechanical issues. It made perfect financial sense."
"You never know what your data is going to look like in a few years, and I wanted a product that would allow me to easily scale; the ExaGrid provides that. It seems that ExaGrid is really on top of new technology, and the system is a very good fit for our environment."
"The ExaGrid system is simply the best piece of equipment I have purchased in years. Our backups now run each and every night without fail and the system is extremely reliable. The ExaGrid was cost-effective, solved our backup and restore issues, and it saves us a tremendous amount of time each and every day."
"Before ExaGrid, if a tape back-up failed, we didn't know if all critical files could be recovered if necessary. Now we don't have to worry about it, and all in all, it's been great because of the time and money saved."
"I highly recommend the ExaGrid system. It’s easy to use, and its deduplication technology works extremely well."
"I get alerts through Veeam and when I do have to access the ExaGrid system, I find the GUI intuitive and easy to use. Everything I need to know is right there on one page."
"We looked at a few other solutions from major players in the space, and the number one reason we chose the ExaGrid system was its data deduplication capabilities. The ExaGrid backs up the data to a landing zone so that backup jobs run as quickly as possible, and we get instant access to the most recent backup without having to decompress it."
"The other systems we looked at couldn't come close to offering us 16 weeks of retention. I was skeptical at first, but ExaGrid's data de-duplication technology does a fantastic job at reducing our data and there's no doubt that we will be able to exceed our retention requirements."
"The ExaGrid system does an excellent job of reducing our data so we can keep more data on-site and available for restores. We're often asked to do individual restores. The ExaGrid system makes restores easy because the data is always available to us and we don't have to worry about tape."
