Case Study: Logan & Company achieves fast, reliable restores and non-disruptive backups with ExaGrid

ExaGrid Alleviates Slow Restores, Long Backup Times at Logan & Company

Logan & Company, a New Jersey firm that manages administrative and information needs for major bankruptcy proceedings since 1990, was struggling with slow, unreliable restores and long backup windows caused by tape-based backups. Restores were time-consuming with no guarantees of success, and nightly tape jobs forced critical systems like mail and Oracle to be unavailable during backups.

The firm replaced tape with an ExaGrid system that works with their existing Symantec Backup Exec, providing disk-based backups, post-process deduplication (reducing stored data about 14:1), and a scalable GRID architecture. The result: much faster, reliable restores that can be completed in a few keystrokes, shorter backup windows that run during the day without disrupting services, easier management, and strong vendor support.
