“The high performance of the Data Domain solution enabled us to rethink our entire backup and recovery strategy. Since implementing our Data Domain solution, our backups are super fast and we can instantaneously replicate our data offsite for disaster recovery. In the event of system failure, we can recover our systems rapidly. You simply can’t accomplish that with a tape-based solution.”

Managing Director, Technical Services
Online Resources Corp.

Children’s Hospital Boston

“With Data Domain, we started seeing the 20:1 compression we had heard about. We could get a lot of disk in a small footprint. If we had bought a comparable amount of disk from another provider, it would require more chassis and more cost.”

EFI

“With the DD460 from Data Domain, we’ve been able to compress and store two to three months of backup data onsite. We’ve cut costs and reduced our reliance on offsite tape storage, and we can back up and restore data at incredible speeds. Best of all, we can easily verify the security and integrity of our data. We’re very pleased — the DD460 is everything we’d hoped for.”

Mohler Nixon & Williams

“The Data Domain Restorer has become an important part of our infrastructure. Restores are faster, backups are faster, and my team spends less time dealing with backups. Since implementing the Data Domain Restorer we have retired the six DLT tape drives and the 126 tapes used to back-up our data stores. We now rely on the Restorer for all our back up and restore needs.”

Ned Rendell
MIS Director, Mohler Nixon & Williams

OuterBay

“Due to OuterBay’s exponential growth over the past year (250%) and our anticipated growth rates over the next year, I was looking for a cost-effective disk-based solution where I could keep more information on-site for more rapid restores. The Data Domain Restorer has exceeded our expectations in both reliability and speed and will scale to meet our data growth demands in 2004.

“We now have assurance that our mission-critical data, the lifeblood of our business, is not only backed up quickly and easily, but I’m fully confident that the data is restorable.”

Graham Breeze
Director, Information Technology, OuterBay

Paramit Corporation

“Before going tapeless, data restores were a huge ordeal. Thanks to Data Domain, I was able to cut restore times from several hours to one hour, which made my end-user customer audience very, very happy. As long as the Restorer is around, we are not bringing tape back to our environment. It is an excellent device and it should be part of every IT department’s disaster recovery strategy.”

Eri Bira
Network Systems Manager, Paramit Corporation

Quicken Loans

“I can highly recommend the Data Domain Restorer. We’re doing full backups of our exchange servers each night with one week retention on disk. I’m also using the inline tape feature within Veritas to write to tape at the same time. Our exchange admin loves not having to call back tapes for restores.”

“The fact that we can fit 100+ terabytes of data in three rack units of space is pretty impressive. What we’ve seen from other products or what we can get with conventional disk or tape doesn’t compare to Data Domain.”
