Case Study: American River College modernizes backup protection with ExaGrid and Veeam

American River College cuts backup storage use to 40% with ExaGrid

American River College, a large community college in California, needed to modernize its outdated backup system. The college sought a solution that could effectively protect its increasingly virtualized environment and simplify its backup management processes. They chose to implement a tiered backup storage solution from ExaGrid, integrated with Veeam software, to replace their previous Acronis and legacy tape systems.

ExaGrid provided a solution that delivered fast backup and restore performance alongside significant storage savings through deduplication. The implementation resulted in the college using only 40% of its storage capacity despite annual data growth. The IT staff reported a significant reduction in time spent managing backups and praised ExaGrid for its extremely reliable performance and proactive support, which freed them to focus on other duties.
