Case Study: HealthEquity achieves longer backup retention and faster restores with ExaGrid

HealthEquity boosts backup retention to over 7 years with ExaGrid

HealthEquity, a leading administrator of Health Savings Accounts, needed to replace its straight disk backup storage to increase data retention beyond seven years and find a solution that worked seamlessly with its existing Veeam backup software. The challenge was to find a high-throughput appliance that could avoid becoming a bottleneck in their environment.

ExaGrid implemented its tiered backup storage solution, which provided a perfect fit with Veeam and delivered the required throughput. The results included a 5:1 deduplication ratio, reducing 470TB of data to 94TB of stored data, and the ability to meet all retention goals. HealthEquity also achieved short backup windows and fast restores, and they were highly impressed with ExaGrid's expert support model. The scalable system is now used for replication between their primary and disaster recovery sites.
