Case Study: Freudenberg Medical strengthens backup and disaster recovery with ExaGrid and Veeam

Freudenberg Medical meets three-month retention with ExaGrid and recovers servers in 4 hours

Freudenberg Medical, a global manufacturer of medical devices and components, faced the challenge of establishing a reliable and scalable backup infrastructure for its IT systems across 11 worldwide operations. The company needed a solution that would ensure quick recovery, meet long-term data retention goals, and be easily managed by its lean IT team. They selected ExaGrid's tiered backup storage appliances to work with their existing Veeam backup application.

The implementation of ExaGrid provided a solid backup infrastructure with measurable benefits. The solution's unique landing zone enabled a full system recovery in just four hours after a critical server crash, averting a potential disaster. ExaGrid's deduplication further amplified Veeam's own, achieving ratios as high as 13:1 and allowing the company to meet its three-month retention goals while keeping 35% of storage free at its largest site. The web-based GUI also provided easy single-pane management of all global locations. Freudenberg Medical's IT systems manager reported that ExaGrid and Veeam made backup and recovery "a joy to work with," providing confidence and allowing the team to focus on improving services.
