Case Study: Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department achieves reliable backups and restores with ExaGrid

Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department stores 9.4TB with 4.6TB used using ExaGrid

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department needed a reliable and efficient disk-based backup system to protect its critical data, moving away from older methods like tape. They chose ExaGrid's tiered backup storage system to work with their existing Veritas Backup Exec software, seeking improved performance, deduplication, and overall reliability for their IT operations.

ExaGrid implemented its scalable appliance-based solution, which provided strong data deduplication, a simple user interface, and excellent reliability. The results included a significant reduction in stored data—backing up 9.4TB while consuming only 4.6TB of space—and a system so dependable it required minimal oversight. The customer reported successful restores, proactive reporting, and outstanding support, solidifying ExaGrid as a core component of their data protection strategy.
