Case Study: Springfield Clinic achieves greater backup retention and faster restores with ExaGrid

Springfield Clinic boosts retention from 2 to 12 months with ExaGrid

Springfield Clinic, a healthcare provider with nearly one million patients, needed to increase data retention to meet HIPAA regulations and reduce the management time spent on its outdated tape backup solution. They chose ExaGrid's tiered backup storage system to improve data accessibility and retention capabilities.

By implementing ExaGrid's solution with its post-process deduplication and scale-out architecture, Springfield Clinic dramatically increased its retention period from 2 months to 12 months. The vendor's technology achieved deduplication ratios as high as 40:1, storing approximately 331TB of data in just 17.9TB of space. This provided efficient, cost-effective backups and enabled fast, simple restores to meet compliance needs.
