Case Study: Penfield Central School District achieves faster, more reliable backups with ExaGrid and Veeam

Penfield Central School District cuts backup windows from 34 to 12 hours with ExaGrid

Penfield Central School District (CSD) faced a challenge with its slow and expensive disk-based backup solution, which had a 34-hour backup window and consumed excessive storage space. The district partnered with vendor ExaGrid to implement its tiered backup storage system, which integrates with their existing Veeam backup software.

The ExaGrid solution utilized source-side and storage-side deduplication to drastically reduce the backup window from 34 hours to just 12 hours and minimize the storage footprint. This provided fast, reliable, and easy restores, often with just a few clicks. The implementation by ExaGrid ensured all backups succeeded and gave the district confidence that its data was secure and recoverable.
