Case Study: Concorde achieves 50% faster backups and scalable disaster recovery with ExaGrid

Concorde Tests the Market for Disk-Based Backup Solutions, Chooses ExaGrid for Speed, Scalability, and Disaster Recovery

Concorde, a Philadelphia-based leader in employment screening and occupational health services, was struggling with tape-based backups that regularly ran more than 24 hours and were cumbersome to manage. Seeking faster backups, better disaster recovery and deduplication, Concorde evaluated several vendors and selected ExaGrid for its deduplication approach and scalable architecture.

Concorde deployed ExaGrid in its primary datacenter (with a second site planned), integrating it with Symantec Backup Exec; ExaGrid’s landing‑zone plus post‑process deduplication cut backup windows from over 24 hours to under 12, simplified restores, and reduced storage needs dramatically (typically 10:1 to 50:1). The system was installed quickly, backed by proactive support, and offers GRID scalability to grow without forklift upgrades.
