Case Study: Bureau of Reclamation achieves faster, longer-retained backups with ExaGrid

Bureau of Reclamation extends backup retention to 1 year with ExaGrid

The Bureau of Reclamation, a federal water management agency, faced constant system downtime and hardware failures with its previous Quantum backup storage solution. The high maintenance costs and unreliable performance, which only allowed for a 25-30 day retention period, prompted a search for a next-generation alternative that could improve disaster recovery times and increase data retention.

ExaGrid implemented its scale-out storage system, which integrates with Veeam, to provide a reliable and scalable solution. The result was the elimination of downtime, the ability to back up previously problematic large volumes, and a dramatic increase in data retention from one month to a goal of two years. The Bureau of Reclamation also achieved a 7:1 deduplication ratio and praised ExaGrid for its easy installation and exceptional, personalized customer support.
