Case Study: Gemeente Hengelo achieves faster, more secure backups with ExaGrid

Gemeente Hengelo secures 60 TB of backups with ExaGrid in half a day

Gemeente Hengelo, a municipality in the Netherlands, needed to replace an unmanageable legacy backup system that relied on complex custom scripting. They sought a new standard solution that would provide faster, more secure backups and eliminate their management burden. They chose to implement a backup storage solution from ExaGrid, used in combination with Veeam software.

ExaGrid provided a solution with its tiered backup storage architecture, which includes a fast Landing Zone for recent backups and a secure Repository Tier with features like Retention Time-Lock for ransomware protection. The results were immediate, with ExaGrid delivering fast backup and restore performance, a much simpler management experience, and comprehensive security that allowed the IT team to sleep better at night. The scale-out architecture also allowed for easy expansion as the municipality's data grew.
