Case Study: Campbell University improves backup performance and security with ExaGrid and Veeam

Campbell University cuts backup windows from 6 hours to 5 minutes with ExaGrid

Campbell University, a private university in North Carolina, faced significant challenges with its legacy Dell Avamar backup solution, including unreliable support, lengthy ten-day outages, and a lack of robust security features. This precarious situation led them to seek a new vendor and they implemented a solution from ExaGrid, pairing its tiered backup storage with Veeam software.

The ExaGrid solution delivered dramatically improved performance and comprehensive security. The backup window for a full backup was reduced from six hours to under five minutes. The IT team gained confidence from advanced security features like Retention Time-Lock, which protects data from ransomware. The result is a reliable, easier-to-manage system that ensures data can be restored at any point, providing significant peace of mind and indirect cost savings on cybersecurity premiums.
