Case Study: Rio Hondo College achieves faster backups and longer retention with ExaGrid

Rio Hondo College cuts backup windows 50% with ExaGrid

Rio Hondo College, a community college in Southeast Los Angeles County, was struggling with its disk-to-disk-to-tape backup solution. As data grew, the system could only hold two days of backups before offloading to tape, leading to retention frustrations. The college sought a new solution with better data reduction and scalability, ultimately selecting the ExaGrid disk-based backup system.

ExaGrid implemented its system, which integrated seamlessly with the college's new Commvault backup application. The solution delivered a 50% reduction in backup windows, increased on-site backup retention to four weeks, and provided easy scalability for future growth. The knowledgeable ExaGrid support team ensured a quick and easy setup for Rio Hondo College.
