Case Study: Softtek achieves faster backups and longer retention with ExaGrid

Softtek reduces backup windows to 8 hours with ExaGrid

Softtek, a global leader in next-generation digital solutions, was experiencing long backup windows and replication issues with its previous inline deduplication appliance. As the company grew, its global IT team needed a scalable backup storage solution that worked seamlessly with its new Veeam backup application to improve performance and allow for longer-term data retention to meet audit requirements.

ExaGrid implemented its scalable tiered backup storage system, which features a disk-cache Landing Zone for fast ingest. The solution provided a 10:1 deduplication ratio, drastically shortening backup windows from an unmanageable timeframe to a consistent eight hours and resolving all prior replication problems. This storage efficiency allowed Softtek to retain data for over a year to satisfy audits. The ExaGrid system also proved easier to manage, freeing up IT staff to focus on global strategy.
