Case Study: L&L Company cuts backup and restore times with ExaGrid

L&L Company cuts backup times in half with ExaGrid

The L&L Company, a provider of floor coverings and design services, faced a challenge with its backup strategy as data growth was causing backup times to extend beyond its limited nightly window. With a planned datacenter move to a co-location facility, its existing tape solution was deemed unreliable and disk-based options seemed too time-consuming to manage. The company turned to vendor ExaGrid for its disk-based backup solution with data deduplication.

ExaGrid implemented its system to work alongside the company's existing Veritas Backup Exec application. The solution cut backup times in half, made restores nearly instantaneous, and provided easy scalability for future data growth. The ExaGrid system's strong deduplication also maximized storage, allowing for over 60 days of retention. The customer reported superior, proactive support from the ExaGrid team throughout the setup and ongoing operation.
