Case Study: Hamilton County DD Services achieves faster, more reliable backups with ExaGrid and Veeam

Hamilton County DD Services cuts Exchange backup from 20 hours to 2 with ExaGrid

Hamilton County DD Services, a government agency supporting people with developmental disabilities, faced unreliable and slow backups with a legacy tape and appliance system. Frequent job failures, lengthy backup windows that could take over a day, and cumbersome management strained IT resources. To solve this, they partnered with ExaGrid, implementing its Tiered Backup Storage system alongside Veeam backup software.

The solution from ExaGrid, integrated with Veeam, provided a fast and reliable scale-out storage system. The implementation reduced the full backup window from an entire day to just four hours, with a specific Exchange server backup cut from 20 hours to two. IT staff praised the seamless, one-day installation and the system's daily reliability, eliminating nightly troubleshooting. ExaGrid's deduplication also boosted retention efficiency, meeting strict regulatory requirements while ensuring quick and easy restores.
