Case Study: Melmark New England achieves flawless, scalable backups with ExaGrid

Melmark New England achieves 83:1 deduplication with ExaGrid

Melmark New England, a not-for-profit organization providing services for individuals with disabilities, was facing constant problems with its previous "all-in-one" disk-based backup device, which created a nightmare scenario for its IT infrastructure. After 15 months of issues, the organization sought a new and more reliable backup solution, ultimately selecting the ExaGrid system for its adaptive data deduplication, scalability, and support model.

The ExaGrid solution provided a two-site system for primary backup and disaster recovery, which integrated seamlessly with the Veeam backup application. The implementation resulted in flawless backups, deduplication ratios as high as 83:1, and a retention increase to 8-12 weeks. ExaGrid's technology also enabled fast and efficient replication between sites. The customer reported a phenomenal level of support and plans to scale the system easily to handle future data growth.
