Case Study: Melmark New England achieves flawless, fast backups and 83:1 deduplication with ExaGrid

Melmark Installs ExaGrid System for ‘Flawless’ Backups, Virtualizes with Veeam

Melmark New England, a Greater Boston nonprofit serving children and young adults with autism, brain injury and related disorders, was struggling with an unreliable “all‑in‑one” disk backup device that failed for 15 months. IT leadership needed a scalable, fast, and dependable backup and disaster‑recovery solution that would support virtualization and growing data volumes.

Melmark deployed a two‑site ExaGrid system paired with Veeam, using ExaGrid’s post‑process, zone‑level deduplication and GRID scalability. The solution delivered “flawless” backups, real‑time offsite replication, seamless Veeam integration, dedupe ratios up to 83:1, 8–12 weeks of retention, and proactive customer support — and the organization plans to add capacity as data needs increase.
