Case Study: GastroSocial achieves faster, more reliable backup and restores with ExaGrid

GastroSocial speeds restores 3-4x with ExaGrid

GastroSocial, a major Swiss compensation and pension fund association, faced significant challenges with its previous backup storage solution. The inline deduplication appliance struggled with poor performance, connection issues, and the risk of data loss, causing weekly backup problems. Seeking a reliable alternative that integrated with their existing Veeam software, they turned to ExaGrid for its unique tiered backup storage architecture.

By implementing ExaGrid's system, GastroSocial gained a reliable and high-performance solution. The ExaGrid appliance's Landing Zone provided fast, non-deduplicated storage for immediate backups and restores, which proved critical during a major outage. Restores became three to four times faster, enabling them to recover critical systems in hours. The solution also included comprehensive security features like Retention Time-Lock for ransomware protection, giving the IT team full confidence in their backups.
