Case Study: Augusta Health achieves faster restores, lower costs, and seamless scalability with ExaGrid

Augusta Health Prefers ExaGrid Over the Competition

Augusta Health, a community hospital in Virginia, faced time-consuming, error-prone tape-based backups that required frequent tape orders, long backup windows, and slow restores that often meant trips to an off-site tape library. Systems Engineer Derek Davis wanted a reliable, low-maintenance backup-to-disk solution to shorten windows and free up staff time.

They deployed ExaGrid’s scale-out, GRID-based backup appliances with zone-level deduplication and integration with EMC NetWorker. Installation was seamless, support was highly responsive, and the system eliminated off-site tape restores, dramatically sped up recoveries, scaled easily (expanded twice without disruption), and reduced staff time and costs.
