Case Study: Rancho California Water District improves backup performance and disaster recovery with ExaGrid

Rancho California Water District cuts backup restore time from 30 minutes to point-and-click with ExaGrid

Rancho California Water District (RCWD) was facing rapid data growth that was pushing the limits of its existing disk-to-disk-to-tape backup system, threatening to run out of disk space and complicating data protection.

The organization implemented a two-site ExaGrid backup storage system for a cost-effective solution. ExaGrid's post-process data deduplication and scale-out architecture provided seamless integration with their Commvault backup software, faster file restores, and easy scalability. The results included lower costs compared to expanding their SAN, improved disaster recovery capabilities, and a reduction in file restore times from at least 30 minutes to a simple point-and-click process.
