Case Study: OMNI Orthopaedics reduces backup windows and expands retention with ExaGrid

OMNI Orthopaedics cuts backup windows from 15 hours to 6 hours with ExaGrid

OMNI Orthopaedics, a medical practice based in Ohio, faced a challenge with its time-intensive tape backup system, especially after adding a PACS server that greatly increased its data storage needs. The practice needed a better way to back up its data and looked into alternatives, including cloud solutions, but preferred to keep control of its data. IT manager Karen Haley worked with an IT contractor who recommended the ExaGrid backup storage solution.

ExaGrid implemented its scale-out storage system, which optimized backups through data deduplication and provided a disk-cache Landing Zone. This resulted in a dramatic reduction of the backup window from 15 hours to just 6 hours, eliminating disruptions to the workday. The solution also maximized storage capacity, allowing OMNI to retain ten years of data without archiving. The customer also praised ExaGrid's responsive and expert support team.
