Case Study: Saker ShopRite’s reduces backup windows and replaces tape hassles with ExaGrid tiered backup storage

Saker ShopRite's Inc. cuts backup windows from 15 hours to 4 with ExaGrid

Saker ShopRite's Inc., a family-owned operator of supermarkets and pharmacies, was struggling with unreliable tape backups that frequently failed and could not complete within its backup window. These issues led to time-consuming restores and operational stress for the IT team. To solve this, the company implemented ExaGrid's disk-based backup system with data deduplication to work alongside its existing Veritas Backup Exec application.

The ExaGrid solution seamlessly integrated with the customer's backup software, providing a fast and reliable disk target. This implementation drastically reduced the company's full backup window from over 15 hours down to just 4 hours. The ExaGrid system also offered easy expandability and was praised for its straightforward installation and superior customer support, eliminating the previous stress and reliability concerns.
