Overall Satisfaction with Exagrid EX Series

We use the EX13000E series as backup targets for Veeam backups. We have three appliances clustered at each site with two sites, for a total of 39 TB of space per site.

Pros

  • Its landing space allows for extremely fast data ingestion.
  • Its compression and de-duplication algorithms make it very efficient.
  • ExaGrid support is excellent; I check in with my dedicated account rep twice a year, and they make sure my hardware is up to date. They take care of all software upgrades for me.

Cons

  • I don't have much to add here. Overall, it has been a solid purchase for us.
  • The exemplary support means I have been able to free up my valuable time to focus on other things.
  • I rarely have to think about the product, which means it is doing its job.
If you have a need for a high performance backup target that can ingest a large amount of data on the front end, then process it later. If you use Veeam, the two work very well together.
