Case Study: G&W Electric boosts data restore speed by 90% with ExaGrid and Veeam

G&W Electric boosts data restore speed by 90% with ExaGrid

G&W Electric, a power systems solutions company, faced challenges with limited backup retention and slow, inefficient processes using their old SAN and tape system. They needed a new solution to shorten backup windows, increase retention, and enable offsite replication. After evaluating options, they selected ExaGrid's tiered backup storage appliance to work with Veeam backup software.

By implementing ExaGrid, G&W Electric boosted data restore speeds by 90%, with mailbox restores dropping from two hours to just ten minutes. Backup windows were also drastically reduced; for example, Oracle backups were cut from nine hours to under four. ExaGrid's solution doubled their retention period from two weeks to a month and provided impressive data deduplication ratios. The scalable architecture and superior support from ExaGrid ensured the solution fit both their current needs and future growth plans.
