Case Study: Itho Daalderop (Dutch whole-house ventilation manufacturer) achieves 40% backup storage reduction with ExaGrid

Itho Daalderop Uses 40% Less Backup Storage After Switch to ExaGrid and Veeam

Itho Daalderop, a leading Dutch manufacturer of whole‑house ventilation systems and related HVAC products, needed a more cost‑effective, reliable backup solution after its Micro Focus Data Protector setup proved expensive and caused backups to run into the business day. The IT team also lacked effective deduplication and experienced slow restores and lengthy backup windows that interfered with operations.

By switching to an ExaGrid disk‑based system paired with Veeam Backup & Replication, Itho Daalderop achieved faster backups and restores, offsite replication for disaster recovery, and instant VM recoveries via ExaGrid’s landing‑zone cache. The combined solution shortened daily incrementals to about five hours, kept full backups to weekends, delivered easy scalability and strong vendor support, and cut backup storage consumption by 40% through deduplication.
