Case Study: Heidtman Steel Products achieves faster, more reliable backup and recovery with Veeam and ExaGrid

Heidtman Steel speeds backups 60% with ExaGrid

Heidtman Steel Products, Inc., a major steel processor, faced a critical challenge with an unreliable legacy backup tool that frequently failed, jeopardizing the 24/7 availability of its vital ERP and SQL systems. This lack of confidence in their backup and recovery put customer supply chain demands at risk. The company turned to vendor ExaGrid for its backup storage solution.

By implementing ExaGrid's tiered backup storage with Veeam, Heidtman Steel achieved a 60% faster backup speed despite 50% data growth. The solution enabled quick recovery of critical VMs in minutes and provided a high degree of reliability. The vendor ExaGrid's integration and deduplication efforts allowed for longer retention of restore points, ensuring the company could consistently meet its operational and customer demands.
