Case Study: Eisai achieves faster backups and major time savings with ExaGrid

Eisai cuts backup management time by over 50% with ExaGrid

Eisai, a global pharmaceutical company, faced challenges with its aging backup infrastructure, including slow performance, management errors, and the need to meet FDA requirements for 30-year data retention. Their data was growing 25% annually, and they sought a new solution to replace their tape and disk systems. After evaluating options from Gartner's Magic Quadrant, Eisai selected the ExaGrid tiered backup storage solution for its competitive price and unique architecture.

By implementing ExaGrid's scale-out system, Eisai achieved massive performance gains and efficiency. The solution integrated seamlessly with their existing Veritas NetBackup and delivered deduplication ratios as high as 232:1. Backups that previously took a week now complete rapidly, and the IT team saves over 50% of the time previously spent managing backups. ExaGrid provided a robust, scalable, and reliable solution that eliminated their previous pain points.
