Case Study: Fugro Data Solutions achieves dramatically reduced backup windows and scalable data protection with ExaGrid

Fugro Data Solutions Secures Worldwide Reputation with Scalable Backup Solution from ExaGrid

Fugro Data Solutions, a global provider of data management and conditioning services for the oil and gas sector, was straining under rapidly growing volumes of critical client data. Its existing disk-based backup was reaching capacity, backup windows became unmanageable (requiring one team member to focus solely on backups), and prolonged backups threatened client data safety and Fugro’s reputation.

Fugro selected ExaGrid’s scalable, plug‑and‑play backup appliance for its performance and support after an initial competitor trial. Deployment took only hours, daily backups dropped to under three hours and weekly jobs now complete within the weekend window, and deduplication delivered average compression of 15:1 (with peaks up to 80:1). The result: faster restores, freed IT resources for other projects, and confidence in a cost‑effective, scalable solution with strong vendor support.
