Case Study: SMRT Architects & Engineers achieves 4x faster backups with ExaGrid and Veeam

SMRT Architects & Engineers speeds backups 4x with ExaGrid

SMRT Architects & Engineers, a multidisciplinary design firm, faced challenges with an outdated tape backup system that could not keep pace with data growth. Their backup window had stretched to 14 hours, often spilling into the workday, and they needed a scalable, faster solution. They turned to ExaGrid for its tiered backup storage, implementing it in conjunction with Veeam backup software.

The ExaGrid-Veeam solution provided a disk-cache Landing Zone for fast ingest, cutting the backup window from 14 hours to just 3, a 4x improvement. The system enabled a seamless, painless recovery of their VMware environment during an outage and offered comprehensive security features like Retention Time-Lock. ExaGrid's scalable architecture allowed for easy expansion, protecting their investment and delivering strong ROI, while the dedicated support ensured smooth operation.
