Case Study: Hologic achieves faster, more scalable backups with ExaGrid and Veeam

Hologic cuts backup window by 65% with ExaGrid

Hologic, a leading global healthcare and diagnostics company, faced a challenge with an inefficient and unreliable backup process. Their environment utilized multiple backup applications, including Dell vRanger and IBM TSM, which resulted in lengthy backup windows and constant storage capacity issues. They sought a new solution and evaluated ExaGrid against Dell Data Domain to pair with Veeam backup software.

ExaGrid’s unique scale-out architecture was implemented, providing Hologic with a dedicated landing zone for fast backups and a long-term retention tier. The integration between ExaGrid and Veeam proved highly effective, achieving a combined deduplication ratio of 11:1. This solution reduced Hologic's backup window by over 65%, cut daily management time by 70%, and provided the scalability needed to maintain consistent performance as data grows.
