Reduxio [EOL] Reviews

Storage and backups.

We've only been using it a month, so it's too early to say. 

It's a box that stores our files and backs them up. 

The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own.

We haven't had any stability issues.

No issues with scalability.

The sales and technical team were good. They explained everything very well. 

We've used other storage and other back up solutions. We've never had it in one box. We switched because we needed a new storage and backup solution and this one fit both those bills together.

It took about 30 minutes to explain it all to us. The initial setup was very simple.

The product's pricing is a good value.

We looked at all the primary storage vendors out there: Pure Storage, Nimble Storage, NetApp, EMC.

Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that.

I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

The primary use case for the Reduxio storage unit is for improving performance in our virtual environment as well as the added redundancies for recovery. Our school has been virtualized for the last nine years. 

Our storage system prior to the installation of our Reduxio unit was comprised of all spinning disk. Ever since the implementation of our new unit, which consists of flash and spinning disk, we have seen an exceptional increase in our virtual computer performance.

One of my end users had reported that a new document which was saved to their virtual computer's desktop had been accidentally deleted. No backup had been completed in the short time frame between document creation and deletion. I was asked to help recover this file which had been worked on for several hours. In the past, I would not have been able to recover the document, however with our new Reduxio unit in place, I was able to recover the document using the backdating features. In minutes, I was able to recover the file.

Reduxio has an interface which is very user-friendly. Its ability to easily connect into a new infrastructure, and in minutes, be online as a new host for my VMware system is like no other storage unit that I have ever managed. Migration from my old storage onto my Reduxio unit was quick and easy to manage.

Although, the ability to recover LUNs from any minute is very valuable. It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN.

The unit has been running at 100% without an issue.

Customer Service:

Any time I have needed anything, from a simple question to someone to be onsite, the customer service has been exceptional.

Technical Support:

On a scale of one to 10, I would rate the technical support with a nine.

I have used EMC for the last eight years. I switched because I wanted to get better performance and recovery options.

The initial setup was very straightforward. 

The Reduxio technician came onsite. They had the unit running and configured in less than an hour.

I did look at multiple solutions. However, the Reduxio unit was superior in its ability to recover from any second.

I sleep better at night knowing that my data is covered, especially in these times of ransomware and zero-day attacks.

We use it with one of our VMware clusters, so file shares is one of the biggest, heaviest uses. It's basically the primary SAN data storage behind one of our data centers.

The biggest improvement, and most visible from the technical standpoint, where my group is the system administration group, is it's just easier to operate. It has a very intuitive interface, it integrates more smoothly with our steps. With a different product from a different manufacturer, there are a lot more steps required to set up a volume, to make it available in VMware and to utilize it there.

It has been very easy. We were shown it once and it is a very intuitive graphical interface that makes a lot of sense, which makes it obviously easy to operate.

We used, and still use, another SAN product in our other data center. We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe.

The biggest one, and one of the reasons we use it with the file shares, is its continuous Snapshotting. We can go back to almost to any point in time, not only to last night at midnight or a week ago, but 10 minutes ago or three-hours-and-so-many-seconds, or whatever the case may be. We already had a brush with ransomware in the past, so it's good to know we can dial back to just before a mishap happens.

Some of the things that needed improvement have been already been worked on. When we first got it, it was a fantastic stand-alone unit but didn't have a lot of the converged features that are now present, nor the whole clustering capability, where you have more than one in data centers and they replicate. You can recover very easily and very quickly.

Much of what we needed has come to it. I haven't really had the time to think of what would be the nice next improvement.

So far for us, it has been stable. It is the kind of product that it either works or it doesn't. You know right away in a lot of cases.

We haven't had the need yet to scale. We were aware of some of the limitations in the early incarnations of the product but, from what I've been told from the upgrade notices, release notes, etc., a lot of these capabilities have been implemented and released to the public. I don't anticipate any scalability issues, definitely not in the timeframe that we'll be ready for scaling.

The sales team is very well versed and educated in the product. I suggested to them they may want to become a little more educated about competitive products so that they can better highlight the differences and the advantages. Regarding the technical team - we were privileged to get to talk to some of the developers and other people who are rarely accessible - I have, perhaps, a more favorable view than a lot of people might, because generally people don't get to talk to key developers of the product they're buying.

Their tech support is very, very good. Now, obviously, that has a little to do with the company scale. I don't imagine they will be able to provide the same, almost personalized, level of service they do today when, at some point, they have hundreds of thousands of customers. But, right now, the sales engineers, installation, sales, tech support, engineers have a pretty good grasp of the customer. You know who to contact, when to follow up, how to follow up. It has been fantastic. 

Way back in the beginning when we were just starting, I think I had one or two technical questions. It was not difficult to get a hold of them and get them answered. On the flip side, with proactive monitoring, they are really good. We were doing some maintenance on our data center one day so the unit lost connectivity, the ability to call home. They made sure to track me down and verify that it wasn't anything malfunctioning in the unit.

We still have the other solution. We've had one for many years, long before Reduxio came on the scene, and we have been enhancing and upgrading that one. We are big enough to need more than one data center, and when looking how to enhance and build out the second data center, an opportunity presented itself, and that's when we deployed the Reduxio. So, we really haven't replaced anything yet, for some of the reasons I elsewhere in this review, with the whole funding scenario.

At that same time, when we were working on the data center, my other SAN product, also monitored, sent a notice, an email, that we had had a disruption, many hours after the fact. After all the services were restored, no one from the other company made any proactive effort to find out what was going on. That is just one of the differences.

The setup was not complicated. It was less than two hours from everything in boxes to everything online, and the Reduxio team did most of the work. It really was a very pleasant experience having it said up.

I'm not sure what the current pricing is. We definitely got a good value at the time. I know that we were still among the early adopters. Between that and our non-commercial status, they extended really fantastic pricing to us. For us, it was a great value.

The licensing is very simple with Reduxio. It is actually one of the attractions, unlike some of the other products. The other product we're using, in some of its incarnations, has extremely complex pricing, with every spindle having an associated license and fees. With Reduxio it's very simple. For the box - the hardware comes in essentially one configuration for the chassis, the unit (and you can buy multiple units and daisy-chain them) - there is no "a-la-carte," so many drives of this kind or that kind, etc. It has a basic hardware configuration. Then, through the software license, they allocate or assign you the right to use the full capacity, or half of it, or a quarter of it. Of course, if you're not using the full capacity but need to, it is a simple phone call to upgrade. It's as simple as it gets.

As I said, we have a different product in-house, and the parent company of that product actually owns a few others. I've been to a number of trade shows and seen yet more competitors and have been getting calls from them. This one, Reduxio, stood out for a number of reasons, particularly the way it operates and the features set, the whole continuous Snapshotting, and having the inherent backups; being able to recover more easily and lose less data should something untoward happen.

In terms of my first impression of Reduxio, and whether it has changed over time, the answer is "yes and no." The yes part is that there are new features that have arrived with the product that weren't there when we first looked at it, when we first purchased it. We actually asked them if they were on the horizon or being planned. The changes were all positive. Now there is the clustering capability, the mirroring which didn't exist some time ago. But, we haven't found any faults or shortcomings that we didn't know about. If anything, like I said, they've eliminated a number of them that existed when we first started looking.

A lot of people use the expression "revolutionary technology" excessively, but most of the data storage SANs have been very similar, very consistent in their feature sets and approaches. The individual algorithms may vary, or what code they started with under the hood, but in principle, they are very similar. Reduxio is the first one to introduce some pretty big - I'd say radical - changes. Just about every other product I looked at, the compression and dedupe are an afterthought. They're optional. You can have them, you can leave them out. But with Reduxio, they're part of the design, they're baked right in, they are an integral part, not something you turn on and turn off. They are a key component of how it operates. Similarly, the whole Snapshotting - they call it the time machine - is very different from the way all the other products I've looked at operate.

As for considering replacing our storage and backup with Reduxio's converged primary and secondary platform, we are a public school district, kindergarten-to-12, so funding is always a scarce commodity. So, it's something we're thinking about, we've discussed internally, but it's going to take a while, simply because we have investments in other products and we need to fully use up those investments before we will be granted funding to make a major change like that.

Regarding advice, I would say fully understand the complete feature set, the complete philosophy behind the product. On the one hand, at a very rudimentary level, it is data storage. So, obviously, it is compared with and competes against other data storage products. But it is designed very differently, with some different premises and concepts, the whole recovery aspect - whether recovering data for a virtual server that became corrupted or recovering an entire unit, from hybrid or cloud storage. 

When comparing with other solutions, you really need to understand the technological differences of this product to appreciate it. If you think about it in terms of any of the conventional SAN storage solutions, then you are left looking at only the dollars and cents. I suspect that because of the choice they've made not to tinker with the hardware too much, it might not always be competitive. I'm sure that some of the other grow-as-you-go products start cheaper, but that would be a flawed way of looking at it. When it comes to actual deployment, in my experience at least, it's been an extremely easy thing. It's very intuitive, has a very modern interface. Instead of making the user set up a million parameters for things that the system knows better anyway, they put all the intelligence in the product and made the controls much easier.

We are very excited about it. We support them wholeheartedly.

So far, in my experience, I'd give it a full 10 out of 10. We haven't had any problems or issues, and the support has been fantastic. It has been a very, very positive experience, at least so far.

We needed more storage and Reduxio came to our rescue. We are very happy with how the whole process unfolded!

Since we installed our new storage unit we have noticed a big performance boost. Our reports are running a lot faster saving us time. 

We love the fact that we do not have to worry about ransomware and can rollback to any point in time. We can sleep easy knowing our data is safe.

This is a hard one because I am very happy with the service, and they have gone above and beyond to make us happy. So, I really can't say there needs to be improvement. If I was going to add a feature to the Reduxio unit, maybe it would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely.

Not at all.

Not at all.

We love it! Every time we call, we get nothing but the best support. We are very happy.

Yes, it was out of date, and we were running out of space. 

Yes, their tech support came out and made sure everything was installed correctly. 

Not sure.

Just make sure you have a good network before doing anything.

Don't shop anywhere else. Reduxio is 100% the way to go.

While looking for a SAN, I came across the Reduxio solution by chance. It has not only resolved the issue of replacing our old SANs, but provided a radical solution to threats posed by ransomware with its backdating feature which is built-in.

The Reduxio box has improved our resiliency and management overhead. While EqualLogic provided a very elaborate SAN HQ to manage the box, Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it. 

The following give the team who acquire Reduxio boxes a big advantage:

• Reliability
• Reduced management overhead
• Resiliency
• Performance.

• Backdating 
• User interface

Reduxio provides a means of backing up the data that you store in it down to one second granularity. This means if you are hit with ransomware, you do not lose data. All you do is rotate the dial to a point in time where you know the data was intact. That is it, and you are back in business. The user interface makes it easy to keep an eye on it, which you do not have to as Reduxio teams keep a 24/7 eye on it. They will alert you if there is a problem before you find out. 

Make it easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware. 

The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes.

We have not encountered any issues with the stability. It is a very solid product.

We have not scaled this box.

The service is great.

Having come to the end of the road for our EqualLogic SANs, we were looking for a new SAN. Around the same time (end of 2016), 2017 was predicted be the year of ransomware and that many services would be disrupted by ransomware attacks. 

We switched because our warranties had come to an end. We had the option to buy a new SAN, if needed.

We implement through the vendor.

ROI is how much (time, money, resources) you will save in case of a ransomware attack because you had this box.

We have full use of the box (in terms of capacity). I think that you are able to buy a minimum capacity, then grow your capacity within the box as you expand your data needs. 

Set up costs are minimal. We were early adopters so we received really good pricing. 

We evaluated only one other before we came across Reduxio. Once we found out what the box could do, which as of yet (to my knowledge) other vendors can't, it was just a case of acquiring the box. 

I suggest you obtain it if you can. It is not a difficult decision to make at this point in time. In time, it is possible that other manufacturers will catch up with the Reduxio concept. Right now, it is the only box that does backdating and deduping  of data within the same box.

It's our primary storage array.

It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side.

We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you. For us, in the software business - I can see where some companies, their main concern is how many IOs per second it can do - but for us, it's recovering from ransomware. That's our number one characteristic that we look for. Then, the second one would be IOs per second. Everybody else does Snapshots, and that's just not workable, because if you're doing a Snapshot every minute and a half you run out of storage so fast, and you need four times the storage capacity to be able to take those Snapshots to recover from ransomware.

The most important feature to me is being able to recover from ransomware. Because of the "time machine" that's built into the product, you can go back to five seconds before the ransomware hits your company's data, and prevent the ransomware from ever happening, and in today's business climate where there are so many ransomware attacks going on, that's me the most important thing.

And one other feature that I think is unique to Reduxio that you should probably know about is, most storage arrays when you buy them, they call it a "forklift upgrade," where a forklift comes in there and pulls out the old storage, and brings in a new storage. But with Reduxio, it can use all your old storage arrays, whether they're NetApp, or IBM, or EMC, or HPE, as targets for doing backups.
In our situation, once we had all of our guests off of NetApp, we then used the NetApp storage array as our backup target. We would write backup copies of the guests to NetApp and also to the cloud. So we'd have a local copy for recovery purposes, and a cloud copy for disaster recovery if the whole datacenter disappeared. Reduxio does that for you. It can write a backup copy to any storage array and, at the same time, write another copy to just about any cloud provider.

The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware.

No issues with stability at all.

Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis. We ended up buying two new chasses, and then we load-balance between the two of them, and then the third one is the secondary target.

The technical team was wonderful. They came up to Vegas, and they not only installed it for us, but they educated us on its use. My IT guy was up and running. As far as sales, I initially had a third-party vendor that was doing the sale. Then, somewhere along the line, I requested that I deal directly with Reduxio. The guy I dealt with, his name is Sam Eckhouse, and he's great. He was really good.

I've never personally used their tech support but my IT guy did, and he said it was great.

We previously used NetApp, but all our developers were complaining about the performance.

After our proof of concept with Reduxio was over, because the paperwork was taking awhile through our legal department, we had to move all of our guests off the Reduxio back to our NetApp storage. Within a week, every developer was calling, complaining about how horrible the performance was, and they needed more memory, and they needed more CPU. We had to explain this to every one of them that called and say, "No it's not that, it's the fact that we had to temporarily move off of Reduxio back onto NetApp, and that as soon as the paperwork was done we were going to move back to Reduxio."

That's a really good testimony to their performance capability.

In terms of the learning curve, our team was already using the iSCSI storage arrays, but the Reduxio people came out and helped us do the initial install in our Las Vegas datacenter. And the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to.

The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing.

I think the pricing is good value, because you're not just buying a storage array, you're buying a backup solution and a DR solution and a "time machine" solution, all bundled in one storage array. When we had NetApp storage we had to then go out and buy a copy of Veeam which is a backup solution. With the Reduxio, you still need to do backups but you don't need that software product.

Unicom is a software development company, and as such we have a very unique storage workload. I spent a year and a half researching storage arrays, and I went through EMC, HPE; I talked to Datrium, I talked to Tintri. I think another one was called DataCore. All in all it was about a dozen of them, and they all pretty much are the same, to tell you the truth. Reduxio is one of the few unique ones in the market.

None of the others we tried met the performance characteristics we were looking at, and none of them met the dedup and compression characteristics we were looking for, until we accidentally stumbled upon Reduxio at a meeting in Irvine, California. They do everything they say they do, which is unusual in the storage business.

One of the problems with software development companies is, a normal production company could have, say, 100 Windows 10 machines, and all 100 of them will be almost identical. So the normal storage array only makes one copy, and then makes copies of the blocks that are different. But in the development business, every virtual machine is different from every other virtual machine. So the typical dedup and compression that you get from Tintri or Datrium or the HPE solutions just doesn't work for us.

I was quite blown away in Irvine when I first saw the presentation from Reduxio, because it was everything that I was looking for, and they lived up to everything they said they could do.

They don't strike me as just another storage vendor. To me they're revolutionary, because nobody else has this "time machine" capability. Everybody else uses a 20-year-old technology called Snapshots. Think of a Snapshot as taking a picture of the way things looked an hour ago, or three hours ago, or eight hours ago. Then, if something bad happens, you have to go back eight hours. With "time machine" you could literally go back a block at a time until you get to the point where the data is okay. It's very revolutionary.

We have actually replaced our storage and backup with Reduxio's converged primary and secondary platform. We're using Reduxio for our primary and secondary, and in addition to that, we use our old NetApp as a target for long term backups.

Of course, everything above is just my personal opinion, it does not represent the opinion of my company.

We are a public school for secondary education. We use the HX550 as primary storage for our production environment. Our environment is based on a number of ESXi hosts. With a mixed amount of servers, Microsoft, Linux, databases, etc.

The interface and setup are simple. There is much less administration needed, and we can use this time to do other tasks.

Our disaster recovery capabilities have also greatly improved with minimal investment.

Backdating: We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss.

NoRestore: We were able to use our existing QNAP iSCSI storage for a near replication disaster recovery setup. The data stored is deduped and compressed, thus efficiently stored and transferred.

It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again.

The performance increase is significant over our replaced storage. Our servers respond lightning fast and the end user experience has greatly improved. We can offer a lot more storage to our end users.

It's primary storage.

In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint. It allows me as a systems administrator to have better control over data. It gives me some reassurance, if we're ever hit with malware, that we won't be completely disabled.

The ability to have granular backups of your data, or be able to go back in time, the NoRestore feature. They're a company that's really on the cutting edge in the data realm. The features, overall, were just too good to pass up, even though it comes at a premium. It's just a fantastic product.

One of the beautiful parts about it too is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" 

The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you. Those are among the many attractive features of the whole platform.

We had a brief hiccup during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme. I can't think of any other areas right now. During that upgrade we had a brief outage but it was quickly remedied.

I don't think I've even hit ceiling with this thing, and I don't know if I ever will. It's just the way it handles data intelligently, and its ability to scale, is just fantastic.

Great. They've reached out to me multiple times. Sales rep has been fantastic. He was during deployment as well. I think they're really great people, and it seems like they really care about their customers, they want their customers to be successful.

Tech support has been really strong. You can reach out to them. I haven't had any troubles at all with tech support. Overall, just very positive.

We were using EqualLogic from Dell, and it was just slow as molasses. Dell is just too big. They say they're for their SMB customer, but they really aren't. They really just want to push product. Plus, they gave up on a product that they were marketing as an overall solution. So now I have a solution from them, not that it's supposed to last forever, but now it's just an aging, obsolete piece of equipment basically.

It's not really complex. The overall ease of use in terms of the user interface, the hands-on delivery and instructions provided by sales, made it a very smooth experience.

You want the best, you've got to pay for the best, that's all. In terms of licensing, just work with your VAR.

We were looking at EMC and Nutanix.

The first impression of Reduxio, when I saw the demo at a colleague's workspace, it was pretty eye-opening and it just looked like a fantastic product. Having deployed it, that impression really hasn't changed. I think our particular deployment scenarios are a bit different in terms of having unique data. My deduplication rates aren't necessarily the same as someone else because I have a lot of unique data. But I'm still glad I purchased it. There are just too many features that are too attractive to have any regrets over buying it.

I have not considered replacing our storage and backup with the Reduxio converged primary and secondary platform, just because I'm limited in terms of finances and budget. But if I could, I would. 

They don't strike me as just another vendor, I consider them really on the cutting edge of storage.

I rate it a 10 out of 10 because of the ease of use and customer service.

Do your research. Look at overall cost factors, and I think you'll come away with an understanding that Reduxio offers the best product out there for the money.

VMware storage device.

This device has allowed us to reduce our footprint, saving money on equipment refresh and maintenance. It has given us a major upgrade in performance I/O, increasing database response time and increasing efficiencies.

The refresh of an older SAN was crtical this year. Reduxio was able to far exceed our needs within the available budget, and made the SAN transition easy and transparent. It require no downtime during the conversion.

The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed. We can backdate to any time necessary to recover from any kind of disaster, like ransomware.

It is very easy to use, very easy to configure, very easy to manipulate how we manage our data stores.

• Have some hooks into cloud storage for backup.
• Update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability, the way the product is deployed.

I would rate tech support #1. The support has been so responsive and great, they feel like one of our staff members. They provide unmatched support for our organization. They are very easy to deal with, very comprehensive on their demos and in their knowledge. They are very helpful in all aspects from the demo to the sales to the implementation.

Hardware refresh cycle demanded the replacement of an older EMC VNXe 3100 unit within our VMware array. We needed to find a new solution for our data store. We looked around, we shopped at all the products that were out there. We looked at hyper-converged. And at the end of the day, Reduxio met the needs that we had, actually exceeded them at the time.

Too easy. Engineering Support arrived, set up, trained, and began migrating data stores within two hours. They gave us great training up-front. 

There was little learning curve. The device training was excellent, and very fast to pick up how to use. You don't need to be a storage engineer to use this device.

Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate.

We went with the base tier. It's one size. Even though you're buying licensing for a certain amount of storage, there is actually a lot more storage built into the box, which is great. You have that expandability within the component, without having to go out and retool or buy more storage. It's already built into the unit.

EMC VNXe, HPE MSA 2040, Nutanix, Nimble, Tegile.

We have not looked into the option of replacing our storage and backup with Reduxio’s converged primary and secondary platform.

However, we were impressed by the TimeOS ability to recover data to any point in time. Now that we are using the device we are more impressed with the I/O speed and ease of managing the unit. We have become more efficient by using this device.

Reduxio is not just another vendor. Definitely different. From sales to support, the company has been extremely impressive, far exceeding our expectations. I would call them an innovator within the sector.

I'd definitely give it two thumbs up. From their sales to the service, the way they managed the implementation, it was just flawless. It was a no-brainer, and they hit it out of the park on the product. If you're looking for local storage vs. cloud, it's definitely the solution to go with, especially with their time warp feature. If you're worried about ransomware it will enable yo to recover from that.

My advice: Buy it, love it, never look back.

For primary storage.

Increase in performance has been very significant.

• Ease of use
• Stability
• Capacity
• Performance

Of course, having the backup schema as it is, is a very nice feature as well.

The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console.

No issues with stability.

It looks to be very scalable. For our size, it would be scalable.

Fantastic, especially the tech team. They went beyond the call of duty to get us transitioned from our previous vendor.

We did use a previous solution. We opened it up for alternate competitive solutions, and Reduxio won out.

It was straightforward.

The pricing that we got, we were okay with, but I think we got a very competitive bid on it. The product's pricing is good value.

One of the key selling points of the Reduxio was that it really is fully licensed for the unit. There are no additional licenses needed for the product, which really helps scalability. There were no additional options to purchase, per se. They were already wrapped into the product.

In terms of my first impression, I was impressed with it very much, from the time we started looking at it. There has really not been any change. I think they're truly different from others in ease of use and stability. There has hardly been a learning curve at all.

At this point, we are basically just in the process of deploying the initial Reduxio purchase, so we haven't considered replacing our storage backup with Reduxio's converged primary and secondary platform.

My advice would be: Seriously consider it. We've been very pleased with it. For a group or company/corporation that needs an easily scalable storage solution, this is a good product.

Also, I would definitely say have a demonstration of it. Definitely talk to them, discuss how it would fit into your current storage schema. Either attend or see a demo of the unit.
