Case Study: Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service reduces backup windows and improves data protection with ExaGrid

ExaGrid Helps U.S. Federal Government Agencies Reduce Backup Windows, Improve Data Protection

ExaGrid provides disk‑based backup and byte‑level deduplication to U.S. federal agencies that are moving away from tape. Agencies were struggling with rapidly growing data volumes and strict regulatory requirements; tape backups were slow, unreliable, insecure and increasingly costly to manage.

ExaGrid’s turnkey system accepts backups directly to disk, performs post‑process deduplication (reducing storage by roughly 10:1 to 50:1), replicates only byte‑level changes to cut WAN usage, and works with existing backup applications without extra licensing. The outcome: dramatically shorter backup windows, improved data protection and disaster recovery, easier administration and substantial cost savings for multiple federal customers.
