Case Study: SAIF achieves incredible backup deduplication and faster restores with ExaGrid and Veeam

SAIF boosts backup performance 30% with ExaGrid

SAIF, Oregon's not-for-profit workers' compensation insurance company, faced a challenge with its backup storage capacity as data growth exploded. Their existing disk storage could not keep up, leading to inefficiently large backups. To save on long-term storage costs and improve performance, SAIF's infrastructure team, led by Dan Sproule, sought a new backup solution with deduplication and chose to evaluate ExaGrid.

The ExaGrid system was implemented and integrated seamlessly with SAIF's existing Veeam backup application. The solution provided incredible deduplication, particularly for Oracle RMAN backups, and kept backup windows short despite continued data growth. Restores from ExaGrid's landing zone were instantaneous using Veeam. The scalable system, supported by proactive customer service, saved on storage costs and helped with future budget planning for SAIF's growth.
