Case Study: Leith Management cuts backup times in half with ExaGrid

Leith Management cuts SQL backup times by 50% with ExaGrid

Leith Management, a major automotive group, was struggling with an unreliable NAS backup solution that caused frequent failures and extended backup windows, exceeding 12 hours for critical SQL data. They sought a more robust enterprise solution to improve reliability, reduce backup times, and enhance disaster recovery. They chose a two-site system from ExaGrid to address these challenges.

ExaGrid implemented its tiered backup storage system, which utilizes post-process deduplication to accelerate backups. The solution cut the company's SQL backup times in half, achieving a 34:1 deduplication ratio, and provided seamless offsite replication for disaster recovery. The result was a completely hands-off operation that eliminated daily troubleshooting and ensured all backups were completed within the designated window.
