Acopia provides a unique combination of innovative products and technical expertise, to help companies of all sizes manage the explosive growth in enterprise data and control the escalating storage management costs. Customers often experience a dramatic return on investment (ROI) from reduced storage management overhead, increased business efficiencies and reduced capital expenses, associated with the use of the Acopia products. To learn more, take a look at our library of case studies. Acopia customers span a variety of industries including financial services, technology, media & entertainment, manufacturing, oil & gas, healthcare and government. What Customers are Saying: 
"We found that Acopia was the only product that actually worked 'as advertised.' We conducted a thorough evaluation prior to selection and found that it met and/or exceeded our expectations across the board in regards to its NetApp compatibility, features, functionality, scalability, and stability. "We have over 30 terabytes of file data spanning eight volumes, and the amount of data is growing fast. We need a technology that will grow with us - Acopia has delivered that solution."
- Norbert Burch, Technical Manager, Cabot Oil & Gas

"In addition to its key benefits of data tiering and load balancing, Acopia's flexible and easy to use replication policies provide the data protection and disaster recovery capabilities we required."
- Sean Maisey, Manager, IT Operations and Engineering, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

"We are managing resources supporting multiple business groups on a 24 x 7 basis. Application downtime is business downtime, which is not an option for us. Acopia's virtualization products allowed us to perform a multi-terabyte data migration, on-line, without disrupting our users' access to data, in a fraction of the time and cost to do it manually."
- Leon Roberge, Director of Information Systems, Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc.

"Acopia's automated data lifecycle management polices have allowed us to reduce our back-up times from 2.5 days to less than 2 hours, an overall reduction of over 90%. In addition, since we implemented the Acopia products four months ago, our IT staff has been able to reduce the time we spend manually managing our storage environment by 40%. This represents a significant cost savings for us."
- Yury Gutgarts, CIO of Archive Systems

"As a result of the Acopia implementation, we have increased our business workflow by over 560% and reduced our overhead associated with storage management by 20%. As a result of these significant performance gains, the Studio Services team is now able to focus their attention on business process efficiencies which will ultimately lead to more of our music being available for sale and hence more revenues"
- Mike Streb, VP of Global Infrastructure, Warner Music Group

"As a worldwide organization with a 24 x 7 business requirement, we must maintain access to data at all times, including during periods of infrastructure change. We chose Acopia's ARX products because of their ability to transparently migrate data, which has greatly reduced the pain and disruption of migrating to new platforms. Acopia's products have allowed us to automatically move our older design projects to more cost effective storage, without effecting user access to the data during and after the archival process. We expect that the savings we experience on disk and tape costs alone will more than pay for our investment in the Acopia switches."
- Iain Godwin, ICT Director and Senior Partner, at Foster and Partners

"Acopia's products allow us to consolidate our back-end storage resources while providing global data access to our users without disruption. Acopia enables us to use of best-in-class file systems, eliminating costly desktop re-configurations, and automatically migrating data without manual intervention or costly application disruption."
- Andy Brown, Chief Technology Architect, Merrill Lynch
"Immediately after deploying Acopia's switches, we experienced remarkable improvements in operational efficiencies. Acopia's in-band virtualization switches provided real-time balancing of load across our NAS infrastructure, greatly increasing storage scalability, while effectively utilizing all of our available file storage capacity. Since we implemented Acopia, we've cut the time spent manually managing the storage environment by 30%"
- Cliff Dutton, CTO, Ibis Consulting
"Thanks to Acopia, the entire process of migration and consolidation is simple, transparent, and non-disruptive to users. Since deploying the Acopia ARX systems to automate storage management tasks, we have experienced a dramatic increase in operating efficiency and a substantial decrease in costs. "Instead of purchasing expensive Tier 1 storage, we used the Acopia systems to easily and non-disruptively implement SATA storage that costs half as much. Moreover, we streamlined our backup policies, nearly eliminating our backup windows. Based upon these results, we anticipate that our Acopia investment will pay for itself in well under a year, and deliver compelling ROI for many years into the future."
- Reinhard Frumm, Team Manager IT-Technology, Messe Duesseldorf
 ""The migration to Acopia was seamless and fast. Acopia's switches reduced the size of the data set we actively manage, creating operational efficiencies. We estimate that Acopia has reduced our total backup and replication time by more than 70 percent. By deploying Acopia's ARX solutions, we have optimized our storage network investments, greatly simplified our storage management practices, and significantly lowered our overall storage costs."
- Bonnie Stiewing, Senior Systems Administrator, United Rentals |
