Case Study: Greenchoice achieves 20 hours per week in time savings and faster backups with ExaGrid

Greenchoice Gains 20 Hours Per Week After Switching to ExaGrid

Greenchoice, a Netherlands-based renewable energy company, was struggling with slow, unreliable backups to server-attached storage that demanded up to 20 hours a week to troubleshoot. Backup jobs frequently stalled or required server reboots, scans took hours, and restores were slow or failed—creating operational drag during a period of rapid growth.

Greenchoice deployed Veeam with two ExaGrid appliances (cross‑replicated for redundancy), which dramatically improved performance and deduplication efficiency. Backups are now five to six times faster (largest full backup 3.5 hours), restores take minutes, storage capacity lasts much longer thanks to combined dedupe, and staff have reclaimed 20 hours per week to focus on other projects.
