Case Study: Carglass achieves faster backups and greater retention with ExaGrid

Carglass reduces backup windows 70% with ExaGrid

Carglass, the French division of global vehicle glass repair and replacement leader Belron, was facing significant challenges with its backup storage. The company's existing storage-attached network (SAN) solution was causing slow backup windows that often exceeded 12 hours and struggles with storage capacity. This prompted them to seek a new solution, leading them to the ExaGrid tiered backup storage system.

By implementing ExaGrid, Carglass achieved a 70% reduction in its backup window, dropping from 13 hours to under 4 hours nightly. The solution provided excellent deduplication, which allowed the company to expand its backup retention from one week to over a month. ExaGrid's reliability also drastically reduced the time IT staff spent on backup management, freeing them to work on other projects. The faster restore capabilities provided by ExaGrid's Landing Zone further enhanced their data protection strategy.
