Case Study: Bethune-Cookman University eliminates tape and speeds backups with ExaGrid

Bethune-Cookman University speeds backups 3x and achieves 57:1 deduplication with ExaGrid

Bethune-Cookman University was facing challenges with its outdated robotic tape library, which resulted in slow, unreliable backups and high annual tape costs. The university sought a new solution and selected ExaGrid's tiered backup storage system to replace its failing infrastructure.

By implementing ExaGrid, the university achieved a data deduplication ratio of 57:1, drastically reducing its storage footprint. Backups became three times faster, restores were significantly improved, and the IT staff saved considerable time by eliminating tape handling. ExaGrid provided a cost-effective, scalable, and reliable solution that exceeded the university's expectations.
