Case Study: Freudenberg Medical achieves scalable, deduplicated backups and rapid recovery with ExaGrid

Freudenberg Medical Establishes Solid Backup Infrastructure with ExaGrid and Veeam

Freudenberg Medical, a global designer and manufacturer of medical devices with 11 manufacturing operations and 1,500+ associates, needed a reliable, low‑maintenance backup infrastructure to protect file servers and SQL/Oracle databases and to meet a three‑month retention policy. With a lean IT team and existing offsite replication via Veeam, the company sought a purpose‑built appliance offering strong deduplication, easy management, and fast recovery.

They deployed ExaGrid appliances at eight sites alongside Veeam, using ExaGrid’s landing zone for instant restores, scale‑out capacity, and proactive support. The combined solution simplified single‑pane management, delivered significant deduplication (site ratios up to 13:1 and combined Veeam+ExaGrid reductions of roughly 6:1–10:1), enabled a full recovery in four hours, and met retention and DR goals while freeing IT to focus on service improvements.
