County of Berrien reduces backup window by 35% with ExaGrid

Berrien County, a municipality in Michigan, was struggling with an inefficient and complex tape-based backup system. Their backups were taking over 72 hours to complete, and managing the storage consumed 70% of a staff member's daily work. They sought a modern disk-based solution from vendor ExaGrid to replace tapes and simplify their process.

By implementing ExaGrid's tiered backup storage, Berrien County reduced its backup window by 35% and cut daily time spent on backup management from 70% to 20%. The solution provided exceptional scalability to handle their 25% annual data growth and delivered an average deduplication ratio of 16:1. The county now benefits from a maintenance-free system that is easier to manage and provides reliable, fast restores.
