American Industrial Transport cuts backup windows by 50% with ExaGrid

American Industrial Transport, Inc., a leading railcar service provider, faced challenges with its costly and slow tape-based backup system using Veritas Backup Exec. Slow data restores, expensive media, and logistical issues with offsite tape storage were significant problems. The company sought a disk-based solution and chose to implement ExaGrid's backup storage appliances.

ExaGrid provided a disk-based system that integrated with the existing Backup Exec software. The solution delivered a 50% reduction in backup windows, high data deduplication ratios up to 21:1, and significant cost savings by eliminating tape. ExaGrid also improved data security and simplified management with proactive support, resulting in faster, more reliable backups and restores.
