Case Study: Disability Management Services achieves faster, more reliable backups with ExaGrid

Disability Management Services cuts backup windows from 14 to 7 hours with ExaGrid

Disability Management Services, Inc. (DMS) was struggling with a legacy tape backup system that resulted in a 14-hour backup window and complex management. Seeking a replacement, they initially believed a disk-based solution from ExaGrid would be cost-prohibitive but were frustrated with the limitations of tape.

By implementing ExaGrid's tiered backup storage solution, DMS cut its backup window in half to just seven hours and streamlined its operations. The ExaGrid system also accelerated replication to their offsite facility, reducing that process from over 12 hours to just 4 hours, ensuring better data security and more reliable backups at a cost comparable to a new tape system.
