I have to admit I was a bit skeptical because all of my product suppliers have been only pushing tape-based data backup solutions. After thoroughly researching many other solutions, including the Idealstor product line, I decided to give it a try.

It quickly became evident that the Idealstor solution has a number of advantages over tape-based systems in terms of scalability, media cost savings and seamless integration into an existing infrastructure. The Idealstor system has greatly expanded our data capture capacity plus saved us a lot of money by not having to replace tapes every few months. It worked directly with our existing backup software saving us thousands by not requiring us to upgrade our backup software. Most importantly, it provides us with successful data backups and restores.

A major advantage of the Idealstor products is their ability to expand and grow as hard drive technology continues to improve now and in the future.It really has been just as easy and simple as changing out a hard drives like changing out tapes. I wish we would have found Idealstor years ago.

Idealstor is hands down the best solution for our backup needs to date! We were in the process of setting up a document storage solution to digitize all of our paper documents and would require almost a terabyte of data storage to backup every night. When we purchased the 4 bay Idealstor backup system we went with 4 250 GB Hard Drives to backup about 750GB of data. Since then we’ve been able to simply purchase larger disks as our data increased. This saved us a ton of money over the long run by not having to continue buying new larger tape technologies and all new tapes.

That is not even counting the savings we’ve gotten from faster backup and recovery. Our backup times and restore times were cut down over 3/4 of the time. No more having to listen to the tape whir back and forth to retrieve your file. Restore times are almost instantaneous it was amazing. I would highly recommend this solution to anyone.. solution to anyone..

Idealstor disk-to-disk backup appliance is a Godsend…our tape backup frustrations are gone, we have no problem with reliability of data and we have reduced our full backup time by 75%.

Our network has over half a terabyte of data, one server, which does cold imaging, has 280GB of data that needed backup every night. This took us 20 hours for full backup and 6 hours for incremental backups. Now that we have Idealstor, we backup this server in 5 hours every night with no need for incremental backup which always gave us an uncomfortable feeling as to data reliability. We are happy to give Idealstor's Backup Appliance, two thumbs up.

The Idealstor Teralyte has been the savior for my backup environment. Prior to having Idealstor I had a backup crisis resulting with tape issues such as bad media, tape head alignment, and hanging sessions within my backup software. Since I implemented Idealstor all my problems seem to have dispersed into thin air. Backup software does not hang any more and I have had no problem accessing my data in a timely fashion. This is the way backups should have been from the start. In our books we just bid goodbye to tape drive backups, thanks to Idealstor.

Idealstor has given us the ability to centralize and scale our backups. With the Idealstor Teralyte we have been able to backup all of our servers to one location and have been able to complete full backups every night. Before implementing Idealstor in our environment we were using numerous DLT tape drives. Our backups required a lot more capacity than what we were able to accommodate. We considered buying a large autoloader for backing up the whole network to consolidate, but speed and cost was a factor. The cost of maintaining servers, rotational tape schemes and backup devices was not cost effective, or adding another backup server and device. We evaluated some larger autoloaders and then we were introduced to Idealstor. We found Idealstor more cost effective, reliable, and scalable, plus it got us away from our dilemmas. Idealstor gave us an affordable and cost effective backup solution that we are comfortable with. It is a network administrator's dream.
