Case Study: FORMA Therapeutics achieves faster backups and disaster recovery with ExaGrid

FORMA Therapeutics achieves 70:1 dedupe and faster backups with ExaGrid

FORMA Therapeutics, a cancer research company later acquired by Novo Nordisk, faced challenges with its tape-based backup system, including long backup windows that spilled into the work week and an insufficient disaster recovery plan. To improve its data protection, the company chose a disk-based backup solution from ExaGrid to work alongside its Veeam and Veritas Backup Exec applications.

ExaGrid implemented a two-site system with a unique landing zone and post-process deduplication, which enabled the fastest possible backups and efficient replication. This solution from ExaGrid delivered deduplication rates as high as 70:1, drastically reduced backup times from days to hours, and saved the IT team half a day of administration each week. The scalable system also provided FORMA with a robust disaster recovery plan and peace of mind.
