Case Study: Movius Interactive Corporation cuts backup times and increases retention with ExaGrid

Movius Cuts Backup Times, Increases Retention with ExaGrid

Movius Interactive, a provider of value‑added services for telecom carriers, was struggling with nearly 4 TB of data and backup windows that were crippling its network: nightly incrementals stretched to 12 hours and weekly full backups to 48 hours, while tape costs and logistics (about 15 tapes per week) were high. The IT team needed a cost‑effective, scalable solution to cut backup times and keep more data on site for faster restores.

Movius deployed ExaGrid’s disk‑based backup appliance with post‑process deduplication, working with Symantec Backup Exec and Vizioncore vRanger Pro. Nightly backups fell to 4 hours and weekly fulls to 16 hours, the company now retains over six months of data onsite, tape usage and related costs dropped dramatically (equivalent to avoiding roughly 200 tapes), and network performance and restore readiness improved — with added scalability and strong vendor support.
