Case Study: Associated British Ports reduces backup windows by 92% with ExaGrid

Associated British Ports cuts backup windows by 92% with ExaGrid

Associated British Ports, the UK's leading port operator, faced a slow and unreliable backup process using tape libraries, which took up to 48 hours for backups and caused significant management problems. They implemented a disk-based backup storage solution from ExaGrid, integrating it with Veeam backup software.

The ExaGrid system reduced their backup window by 92%, down to just 4 hours, and enabled near-instantaneous restores. The solution's massive deduplication allowed retention of over 90 days and up to 400 restore points, with storage efficiency ratios as high as 16:1. Andy Haley, Infrastructure Analyst, stated he is very happy with the combination of ExaGrid and Veeam and does not want to use anything else.
