Goodwin College, a nonprofit institution in Connecticut, needed a reliable and integrated backup and disaster recovery solution to handle its diverse data environment, which utilized two different backup applications: Veeam for VMware and Veritas Backup Exec for physical machines. The college sought a system from vendor ExaGrid that could seamlessly support both applications while providing offsite replication.

ExaGrid implemented its Tiered Backup Storage system, which provided a disk-cache Landing Zone for fast backups and a scale-out architecture for easy scalability. The solution delivered reliable daily backups and seamless offsite replication for disaster recovery. The results were highly positive, with Goodwin College reporting that the ExaGrid system has been solid and needs little maintenance, working reliably for years and living up to the vendor's promises.
