Case Study: Ascot Underwriting achieves faster backups and restores with ExaGrid and Veeam

Ascot Underwriting scales backup to 2.7PB with ExaGrid

Ascot Underwriting, a leading global specialty insurance underwriter, faced challenges with its time-consuming tape-based backup system managed through Veritas Backup Exec. Seeking a more efficient and reliable solution for quicker backups and restores, the company chose to implement a backup storage solution from ExaGrid, integrated with Veeam software.

ExaGrid provided a scalable system that was easily expanded as Ascot's data grew, ensuring a consistent backup window. The solution delivered fast, reliable backups and quick restores, often with "just a few clicks." The IT staff found the ExaGrid system easy to manage, significantly reducing the time spent on backup, and praised the vendor's responsive and helpful customer support.
