Testimonials

"As an Open-E Partner, I took part in one of Open-E's Certified Engineer Trainings. It has been a great experience for me - very, very interesting! Open-E DSS V7 is a really great product from my point of view (and not only mine) but now I know the people behind this project are great as well, it is an important added value for me."

"We use Open-E DSS V7 as our main storage. We never had any problems in 3 years now. In my opinion it is a very fast and reliable storage solution. Thanks to the Open-E support team for their help when we increased our volume and upgraded from version 6 to 7."

"We have been running Open-E software for two years now as an MPIO’d ISCSI SAN without a single issue. Installation / configuration was relatively painless, there is a multitude of configuration options and the software seems very stable. Open-E software is a cost-effective and reliable storage solution."

"We use Open-E DSS V7 for storing our mission critical backups and as a collaborating platform for mixed clients (OSx, Windows and Linux). What I really like about Open-E is the fact that it's hardware independent and a set and forget appliance. In the near future we will start using multiple Open-E appliances for replicating data over multiple branch offices."

"Association of Professional Accountants is an accounting firm. The specifics of accounting are a smooth workflow, and the discretion regarding all customer data - the stability of our client’s business depends on these two factors. And if our work is interrupted, it affects us, our clients and client’s customers. That’s why continuity and security are our first priority. For the same reason, disaster recovery and limited downtime are important to us. For these purposes we use a virtualized storage environment based on Open-E DSS V7 and Citrix XenServer. To ensure additional data security we also encrypt the operating system. This way we can provide highest security and reliability of our customer data, protecting the core of our business with Open-E software."

"We started using Open-E on an Intel SAN back in 2008 with iSCSI-R3 but changed to Open-E DSS V6 at the end of 2009. Early this year the boot drive malfunctioned and I had to replace it and reinstall the DSS, which I did using a USB pen drive with the installation image. When Open-E DSS V6 booted I just had to enter the license number and register the product, then I restored the settings I had previously backed up. The unit restarted just like nothing had happened, everything was in place and working just like before. I’ve grown to appreciate Open-E’s products, and mostly how they allow me and the rest of the staff to do our work. Open-E’s software works seamlessly, is easy to install and configure, extremely reliable and offers an outstanding performance. They give me peace of mind."

"Currently, the priority of the IT-industry regarding the development of an e-government concept lies on the transfer of public and municipal services in an electronic form and the electronic provision of those services. In the Kursk region, a centralized information system was formed which includes data storage, the registry and a portal of public services, as well as an electronic document management system. Open-E's software is included in this system and allows us to solve current and future challenges due to its scalability, performance and reliability."

"In my workflow, I use Open-E DSS V6 as a 4GB Fiber channel storage / NAS for after effect and avid audio-video postproduction. Despite the fact that I didn't use high-end computer hardware to build the machine, the performance and stability of this operating system are astonishing! No other market solution gave me the ability to create NAS and Fibre Channel network storage so easily. The interface is rich and well done, the possibilities endless. The server is running rock-solid for 3 years now without any major crash."

"Our storage environment runs on Open-E DSS V6 for four years now, and consists of two Open-E NAS servers in an active-passive setup. Every six hours we have a replication task running to ensure high availability of all company data. The only issues we had in the past were strictly hardware-related, and we are convinced to have chosen the best and most cost-effective storage software to keep our data safe - thanks Open-E!"

"We have been using Open-E software for more than 3 years now and when we had to contact Open-E's support for trouble shooting we were satisfied with the quick responses. I think it’s a very nice product with a good price, so we can afford to have many more SANs to distribute load and risk than we would have had if we had gone with one of the major ones like EMC or NetApp."
