Case Study: Ajuntament de Girona improves backup security and efficiency with ExaGrid

Ajuntament de Girona boosts backup storage efficiency with ExaGrid and achieves about 30:1 deduplication gains

The Ajuntament de Girona, the city council for Girona, Spain, was facing challenges with an inefficient and end-of-life backup storage system. Their previous solution did not optimize space or deduplication effectively and lacked robust security features, which was a significant concern due to the rising threat of ransomware attacks. They selected ExaGrid's tiered backup storage to address these issues.

ExaGrid implemented a two-appliance system for both primary backup and offsite disaster recovery. The solution provided superior storage savings, achieving a 30:1 overall deduplication ratio compared to their previous 5:1, which allowed for longer retention periods. The Ajuntament de Girona also gained comprehensive security with ExaGrid's Retention Time-Lock feature, providing a strong defense against ransomware and greater peace of mind.
