Case Study: CSEA achieves faster, scalable backups and restores with ExaGrid

CSEA restores data in minutes with ExaGrid and scales backups twice

The Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA), a large state-wide employee union, faced challenges with its outdated tape-based backup system, which required extensive maintenance and long restore times. During an infrastructure upgrade, CSEA sought a more robust disk-based solution to efficiently back up its growing physical and virtual servers. They selected ExaGrid's tiered backup storage system after evaluating other options.

ExaGrid implemented its scale-out storage appliance, which integrates seamlessly with CSEA's Veeam and Dell EMC NetWorker backup applications. The solution provided fast backups with 12:1 data deduplication and enabled restores in minutes instead of hours. The system scaled easily twice with CSEA's data growth. The ExaGrid system simplified management with an intuitive interface and offered reliable support, giving the IT team confidence in their backup and restore capabilities.
