Case Study: Canadian HIV Trials Network dramatically reduces backup times with ExaGrid and Veeam

Canadian HIV Trials Network cuts backup times to a few hours with ExaGrid

The Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) was facing a significant challenge with its backup processes. As a publicly funded organization, it had fiscal limitations, and its existing tape-based backup solution was insufficient. Backups for its Linux, Oracle, Windows, and Exchange servers ran continuously and could never complete within a 24-hour period. CTN evaluated several solutions and chose the ExaGrid backup storage appliance integrated with Veeam software to address its backup window issues.

By implementing ExaGrid's tiered backup storage with its disk-cache Landing Zone, CTN achieved dramatically faster backup performance. The solution seamlessly integrated with Veeam to support their 100% virtualized environment. Backups that previously ran non-stop are now completed in just a few hours overnight. The ExaGrid system provided a budget-friendly solution that delivered peace of mind, requiring no maintenance and ensuring reliable, completed backups every morning.
