mid-market to large enterprise – ExaGrid target market • 50TB to 100s of PB Horizontal market • All use the same backup apps, backup storage, and backup processes
from selling backup storage • Veeam corporate does not push one physical storage vendor over another • NBU appliances will go away under Cohesity • Commvault not pushing HyperScale X – tactical product • Rubrik moving away from end-to-end – buy whatever storage you want • Cohesity moving away from end-to-end – buy whatever storage you want
a large capacity buy – are willing to look at something before cutting the P.O. Doing a hardware refresh, storage is old – willing to look around before they buy Changing backup app to one that their current backup storage does not work with Changing their backup to one that works poorly with their backup storage They are trying to cut costs Backups are broken in some way • Way outside the backup window • Restores are slow • Not meeting their Security requirements • Not meeting DR requirements • Taking too much of their time – failures, management time, etc. • Not getting good support
