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.” – 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.” – 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.” – Glenn Requierme, CIO, Vista Healthcare

About ExaGrid’s Technology:
The ExaGrid system is a turnkey, plug-and-play solution that works with existing backup applications and enables faster and more reliable backups and restores. Customers report that backup time is reduced by 30 to 90 percent over traditional tape backup. ExaGrid’s patented byte-level data deduplication technology and most recent backup compression, coupled with high-quality SATA storage, reduces the amount of disk space needed by a range of 10:1 to as high as 50:1, or more, resulting in a price that’s often less than tape-based backup.
