Case Study: Hancock Lumber improves backup security and performance with ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage

Hancock Lumber scales backup with ExaGrid to support 700+ employees and growing data

Hancock Lumber, a seventh-generation family-owned integrated forest products company, faced challenges with its Dell Data Domain backup storage as company data grew, causing strain on storage and backup management. System Administrator Mike Collins sought a more robust and secure solution, leading them to partner with ExaGrid and implement its Tiered Backup Storage system integrated with Veeam.

The ExaGrid solution provided improved security with features like Retention Time-Lock and encryption at rest. The system was easy to install and scale, and it delivered fast backup and restore performance. The customer reported that the ExaGrid system "works as advertised" and that proactive support from their assigned engineer ensures the system runs smoothly, allowing backups to become a minor concern.
