Case Study: Langley Health Services reduces backup times and simplifies data protection with ExaGrid

Langley Health Services cuts backup time from 19 hours to 4 hours with ExaGrid

Langley Health Services, a nonprofit community health center, was struggling with a manual, labor-intensive backup process to its storage area network. Their backups were exceeding a 19-hour window and posed a disaster recovery risk, as backup data resided on the same SAN as production systems. They needed an automated, enterprise-level solution and chose ExaGrid's disk-based backup with deduplication system, integrated with Veritas Backup Exec.

The ExaGrid solution provided a disk-cache Landing Zone for fast backups and utilized data deduplication to drastically reduce stored data. This cut backup times from nearly 19 hours to just four hours, ensuring all backups completed within the desired window. ExaGrid's scalable architecture also eliminated concerns about outgrowing the system, while its ease of management saved significant administrative time.
