Case Study: Herrfors doubles backup speed and boosts deduplication with ExaGrid

Herrfors doubles backup speed with ExaGrid and improves deduplication 5x

Herrfors, a Finnish electricity company, faced a challenge when its existing NAS backup storage reached end-of-life. The IT team needed a new backup storage solution that would integrate seamlessly with their existing Veeam software and could scale to meet future data growth, particularly in preparation for a regulatory change that would vastly increase their data volume.

By implementing ExaGrid's tiered backup storage system, Herrfors achieved significantly faster backup and restore performance. The ExaGrid solution, which integrates directly with Veeam, made backups twice as fast and improved data deduplication by a factor of five, drastically reducing storage needs. The scalability and long-term support offered by ExaGrid provided the future-proof solution the company required, ensuring the system could be maintained for a decade.
