The solution could improve by switching to a flash-type solution rather than the spinning drives that they currently use. However, we have not had any failure with the spinning drives. The flash-type drives are more up-to-date and are something that is in their roadmap.

The product's documentation can be made more precise. The good thing is you can access the appliance when you go to the online documentation, which is always up-to-date. There needs to be a proper explanation of the enhanced consoles in the documentation.

In terms of how the product could be improved, that depends. The one place where we are sometimes losing the opportunity with ExaGrid is that a few customers still require fiber channel connectivity, which is not always possible. But technically I don't think this is something that ExaGrid should add.

A second thing is the protection which is a nice feature, but practically speaking, the Dell EMC data domain is quite strong in Czech market, and they're offering the worm protection, but the worm protection itself is not that important. The important thing is that they are one protection. 

They are proven by a third party that it's compliant with some regulations. This is something we already discussed with ExaGrid, that they should take this step, or should somehow prove they are officially better protection for the customers. They should obtain some kind of certification.

Product support could be improved. It is next day support when it comes to parts.

The tool reduces storage footprint. However, clients are now storing data for longer durations with increasing requirements to retain backups for longer periods, particularly as a defense against ransomware attacks. As a result, the retention zone with duplicated data is experiencing more demand, leading to space constraints. This necessitates using higher-end, more expensive models to address the issue.

I was asking about the mutual appliance, which would provide the same features as the integrated client without the hardware. This would allow it to be used in the public cloud, which I heard might be available soon. However, the private cloud is not reliable.
