Case Study: Leavitt Group stabilizes backups and boosts retention with ExaGrid and Veeam

Leavitt Group cuts backup window by 30% with ExaGrid

Leavitt Group, a large insurance brokerage, was experiencing unreliable backups and capacity issues with its previous QNAP NAS storage solution. The company needed a new backup storage system that could handle its large virtualized environment and integrate seamlessly with its existing Veeam software. Derrick Rose, IT operations engineer, chose to implement the ExaGrid backup storage appliance to address these challenges.

ExaGrid provided a reliable and scalable solution with impressive deduplication, which stabilized Leavitt Group's backup process. The results included a 30% reduction in the nightly backup window, allowing 800 VMs to be backed up within seven hours. The company also gained the ability to increase its data retention from one to three years due to ExaGrid's efficient storage use and achieved an average deduplication ratio of 8:1.
