Case Study: New Balance achieves faster restores and scalable backup performance with ExaGrid

New Balance cuts backup window by 20% with ExaGrid

New Balance, a major athletic footwear manufacturer, was facing challenges with its previous tape and disk-based backup solution, including slow restores, scalability concerns, and management difficulties. The company sought a new solution to improve its data protection and chose ExaGrid's tiered backup storage system, which integrated with their existing Veritas NetBackup application.

By implementing ExaGrid's scale-out architecture, New Balance achieved significantly faster backups and restores. The solution reduced their backup window by 20% and provided an average deduplication ratio of 16:1, maximizing storage efficiency. ExaGrid's unique customer support model and painless scalability, growing from two to twelve appliances, were also key benefits that ensured a successful outcome for the company.
