We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "In comparison to other solutions, it's affordable. They're all too expensive."
  • "The current agreement has 21 terabytes of free space and it cost approximately $35,000."
  • "The previous solutions I have used both included the Backup Software and the Appliance making it hard to compare to this solution. However, overall the solution is reasonably priced for the features you receive. ExaGrid EX Series is priced better than HP, Dell, and possibly Commvault which I have compared in the past."
  • "My company had to pay 1,60,000 EUR for the system we use, and the payment was made just once for the system and five years of full support."
  • "I rate ExaGrid EX Series' pricing eight to nine out of ten."

    Overview
    The ExaGrid EX Series hyper-converged secondary storage for backup product line consists of eight appliance models. Each appliance is sized for a full backup and for long-term retention. Any ExaGrid appliance can be mixed and matched in the same scale-out system with any other size or age appliance, allowing customers to buy what they need as they need it. This pay-as-you-grow model allows up to 25 appliances in a single scale-out system.
    The DR Series Appliance deduplication algorithms efficiently handle hundreds of incoming data streams and deduplicate them using a variable-length slidingscale format to assure optimal capacity optimization. To assure data integrity the appliance hardware contains a Write Acceleration Module card, collision detection and file system integrity checks, where existing data is read back periodically to compare checksums and verify data integrity
