Case Study: Sioux Technologies achieves secure, scalable backup and ransomware recovery with ExaGrid

Sioux Technologies secures 7-year retention with ExaGrid

Sioux Technologies, a large privately-owned high-tech solutions company in the Netherlands, needed a more powerful and manageable backup storage solution to handle its growing data from over 300 VMs. Their previous setup using NAS devices and tape with Veeam was insufficient. They turned to ExaGrid for its tiered backup storage to improve performance, security, and long-term data retention.

ExaGrid implemented its tiered backup storage with a disk-cache Landing Zone and a non-network-facing Repository Tier, integrated with Veeam. The solution provided fast backups and restores, robust ransomware recovery with Retention Time-Lock, and comprehensive security that withstood internal testing. ExaGrid's deduplication was critical for meeting 7 to 15-year retention requirements, achieving a combined 14:1 deduplication ratio with Veeam. The customer also praised ExaGrid's superior, proactive support model compared to competitors, ensuring reliable operations and easy future scalability.
