Case Study: Black Box Corporation achieves faster backups and rapid restores with ExaGrid

NextiraOne Federal Reduces Backup Times, Improves Restores with ExaGrid

NextiraOne Federal (dba Black Box Network Services), part of Black Box Corporation, is a value-added reseller and provider of communications and infrastructure solutions. The IT team was struggling with nightly incremental backups that ran nearly ten hours, cumbersome tape management, slow restores and concerns about disaster recovery.

They deployed an ExaGrid disk-based backup appliance integrated with Symantec Backup Exec, using post-process deduplication. The result: much faster backups, restores that now take minutes instead of days, eight weeks of on-site retention, a simple two-hour install, reduced administration time and reliable, dedicated support — all with scalable, cost-effective growth options.
