"The STORServer has replaced six separate backup systems spanning over 40 servers controlled by five different groups yet each has full control over its own backups and only its own backups. It's such a set-it-and-forget-it device that only a couple of people in the organization even know what it is!"
Sean Peacock
Riverside County Office of Education
"The turnkey operation you provide is by far the best service to this backup solution. If I had to implement this myself, even with the prior training, I don't believe I could have gotten my first backup on the first day. The tools that were provided to us make this easy to implement and deploy. About two hours after you left, my first restore request came in. I was able to restore the user's data in less than one minute. I have used several backup products and this is the easiest to use by far. The total package you provide, from training to implementation to advanced training, makes this the only solution around."

"It was the smoothest enterprise system that we have ever been involved in. The FIRST day we were successfully backing up clients. By the end of the week we had 4 locations and over 900GB of data being backed up."
"STORServer provides library hardware and a graphical front end to TSM that makes the entire system very user friendly and easy to configure. Our STORServer reseller gave us confidence that they were looking out for our best interest, not theirs, throughout the whole planning, purchasing and implementation process."
Kim Mathias, Project Manager
Network Services, Liebert Corporation
"The restores are the fastest and the easiest ever. Whether a user needs one or many files restored, it only takes minutes to have the files back. I think this is a great product! I would suggest it to any company. I don't think I would ever like to go back to the old way of backing up files."
Susie Vigil, Computer Software Engineer
Software Unit, New Mexico State Highway and Transportation
"We had an NL530 backup appliance, but because our environment grew so big, we changed to a STORServer manager and a DL 60 compact server. [We like] the ease of functionality – you don’t have to write specific scripts. Operator interface error reporting is an easy way to see if something failed. [We also like the] failed interface and vault retrieval [features]."
Alan Grantham, NT Administrator

"[We have] a Q 1000 series. We run Windows 2000 and backup 10 servers. Previously, we weren’t able to back up our open VMS or alphas operating systems. We had individual tape drives, so it wasn’t consolidated, and we had to manage software backup on each machine. We’re pleased with the system; it’s working well. We like the fact that it was a turnkey operation and that it is self-contained. And the ease of restoring files is nice."
David Jones, Network Administrator
Intermountain Rural Electric Association
"[We have] the latest version of TSM, the 515 for Windows 2000, and a STORServer Manager for daily maintenance in running various scripts and backing up tape pools. It’s made it very easy for me to delegate day-to-day operations to non-technical staff."
Dean Winger, Network Administrator
University of Wisconsin
"We have one server and 40 clients or city staff. We got our STORServer Backup Appliance in September 2001. It’s helped organize the way we routinely look at data backup. It’s helped us in the speed in which we can recover data – very, very quickly. It’s also made us consciously think about how we store our data long-term, which we now do religiously."
Tony Loeffler, Systems Administrator
City of Carlsbad
"[We have] a Tivoli running a QualStar tape drive with an IBM E-Series server on an NT platform. We backup 13 critical areas of our school district – 11 schools and two support sites. I like how easy it is to restore files. It doesn’t take a gross amount of training for end-users to restore an individual file. And I like the fact that if it fails during a backup, the system will still continue to backup data, even though it records that it has failed."
Ed Jaro, Director of Technology
Hoke County Schools, Raeford, N.C.
"[We have] a Dell Power-Edged 4400. The system consists of two, 360-slot AIT tape libraries, which gives us 36 terabytes of storage space. The system backs up about 85 servers. I like the centralized management. "
Steve Stelzer, IT professional 4
University of Colorado Health Sciences, Aurora, CO
"We have a Windows 2000 work station attached to a 4440 tape library with two drivers and a V17 Server with different platforms like Novell and Unix. It’s great because it keeps everything simple. It backs up servers remotely and restores very quickly. Another plus is that during the day when it’s doing its migrations, it’s copying its own files, so if anything happens, we have the tapes to rebuild. We lost a server last year and had to recreate it. But it was very simple to install the software and within hours be done. "
Edgar Chacon, Network Administrator
El Paso, Texas Water Utilities
"[We have] a STORServer Manager with a 40-slot Quantum tape library. The system backs up approximately 30 NT machines and four AIX machines. I like the turnkey solution STORServer offers. It was nice to have someone experienced come in and set it up. They did a good job of setting the machine up with initial backups and showing me how to configure the backups. It was fantastic."
Joel White, Network Administrator
Saint Vincent’s Hospital, Santa Fe, NM
"[We have] a TSM with a 20-tape library that backs up multiple Unix and PC servers. It’s automatic; it’s one-step back up for 90 percent of what we need to back up. It’s the primary backup for the 50 computers on our network."
Terry Kirk
Westar Energy of Topeka, Kansas
"Our system has been able to grow according to our organizational needs, even when our storage requirements were more than doubling from year to year. Having fallen victim to California’s chaotic power supplies during the summer, and high winds during winter, our data center began experiencing more power outages than our 1984 vintage UPS could hide. But during such incidents now, our STORServer product allows us to recover from situations with minimal data loss, when otherwise multiple weeks of several thousand end-user’s input, and payment to many more thousands of vendors and employees, all would have been in jeopardy.
