Case Study: ContinuitySA secures clients' data and cuts backup windows from days to hours with ExaGrid

South African BCM Services Provider, ContinuitySA, Secures Client Data Using ExaGrid

ContinuitySA, Africa’s leading business continuity management and resilience provider, needed a more scalable, secure and cost-effective backup solution for its clients. Its legacy tape-based and purpose-built appliances were hard to manage, delivered poor price-performance and created long backup windows, prompting the company to evaluate modern virtualized options that could meet client requirements across industries including financial services and government.

ContinuitySA standardized on ExaGrid (integrated with Veeam) for backup-as-a-service and disaster‑recovery-as-a-service, gaining fast backups, efficient deduplication, encrypted appliances and scale-out growth. The change cut incremental backup times from two days to one hour and Exchange restores from four days to four hours, shrank tape footprints (250TB to 20TB), prevented ransomware data loss, and delivered strong vendor support—results that have led multiple clients to adopt ExaGrid.
