Case Study: STAR Financial Bank achieves scalable, simplified backup storage with ExaGrid

STAR Financial Bank reduces 575TB of backups to 105TB with ExaGrid

STAR Financial Bank faced a challenge as its legacy Dell EMC Data Domain backup solution reached capacity, forcing the prospect of a costly hardware refresh and additional storage purchase. The bank sought a more scalable and cost-effective backup storage system and chose ExaGrid’s Tiered Backup Storage solution, implemented with Veeam software, to replace its existing setup.

ExaGrid provided a scale-out system with unique Landing Zone technology, which simplified management and accelerated backups and restores. The solution delivered substantial data reduction, storing 575TB of raw VM backup data in just 105TB after deduplication. According to the bank's lead systems engineer, ExaGrid drastically reduced administrative time compared to the prior system and offered excellent, proactive support. The scalable architecture provided investment protection and maintained consistent performance as the bank's data grew.
