Case Study: Allegro MicroSystems achieves faster backups and rapid restores with ExaGrid

Allegro MicroSystems Streamlines Backup Environment with ExaGrid

Allegro MicroSystems, a global leader in high-performance power and Hall-effect sensor ICs, faced rapidly growing business data and an increasingly long tape-based backup window that reached 24 hours. Seeking a modern, cost-effective alternative that met technical requirements and business objectives, the company evaluated contemporary disk-based backup solutions to replace tape.

Allegro implemented ExaGrid’s disk-based, scale-out GRID system with post-process, zone-level deduplication and seamless integration with existing backup software. The solution was quick to install, reduced the backup window to under eight hours, cut storage requirements through 10:1–50:1 deduplication, accelerated restores from minutes or hours to seconds, and provided six to eight months of online recoverability while offering simple scalability for future growth.
