Case Study: Cheektowaga Central School District reduces backup windows with ExaGrid

Cheektowaga Central School District cuts backup window from 14 to 3 hours with ExaGrid

The Cheektowaga Central School District was facing challenges with its outdated tape backup system, which required 14 hours to complete and had a high risk of failure, leaving no margin for error. This led the district's IT staff to seek a more reliable and faster solution. They chose to implement the ExaGrid tiered backup storage system to address these issues.

By deploying ExaGrid, the school district drastically reduced its backup window from 14 hours to just 3 hours. The solution also significantly increased reliability and reduced the time spent on backup management by 75%. The ExaGrid system provided a highly flexible and scalable platform that easily integrated with their existing backup software, ensuring successful nightly backups and much faster restore times.
