ExaGrid Publishes One Hundred De-Dupe Customer Success Stories

ExaGrid Systems, Inc. announced that it is the first vendor to publish more than 100 real-world customer success stories which detail customers’ experiences and contain IT staff quotes about moving from tape backup to ExaGrid’s disk-based backup with data deduplication system. It’s more than all other vendors combined, including Data Domain, EMC and Quantum.

With over 1,200 systems installed in more than 550 unique locations at more than 320 customers, ExaGrid has the industry’s second largest installed base of disk-based backup appliances with data deduplication in mid-market/small enterprise companies. A recent study conducted by TheInfoPro, an independent research firm, showed that ExaGrid Systems is the second most installed disk backup with data deduplication appliance vendor cited by study respondents in mid-market/small enterprise companies. ExaGrid targets customers with between 1TB and 100TBs of data to be backed up.

ExaGrid customers are based throughout the world and occupy a diverse set of important industries such as: Healthcare, Business Services, Legal, Engineering Services, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Education, Federal and State/Local Government. ExaGrid’s customer case studies include stories from leaders like Adventist Health, Kawasaki, Kingston Technology, Konica Minolta, Morningstar and many others.

Many real-world customer quotes are featured as part of each success story, including the following:
“Our backups are now completed consistently each and every night and our IT staff spends far less time managing and administering backup processes and tapes. We were never completely confident in our ability to restore data from tape because it was so unreliable. However, restoring data from the ExaGrid is a breeze. The information is always there and available if we need it,” said Jason O’Dell, IT Manager, GreenBank.

“Restoring data is a point-and-click operation now with ExaGrid. We have all of our data at our fingertips instead of on tape, so it is always available. Performing the actual restore takes just minutes,” said Paul Kramer, Assistant Manager, IS, Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing.

“As a healthcare provider, we must protect lots of sensitive patient data and it’s difficult to do that with tape. Our data is far more secure on the ExaGrid system because it sits within our data center, not on tapes that have the potential to become lost or stolen in transit,” said Glenn Requierme, CIO, Vista Healthcare
