Case Study: SUNY Cortland achieves stronger disaster recovery and faster backups with ExaGrid

SUNY Cortland cuts backup windows with ExaGrid's 2-site disaster recovery system

SUNY Cortland faced challenges with its aging tape-based backup infrastructure, which was causing slow, inconsistent, and frequently failing backups. To remedy this, the university implemented a disk-based backup and data deduplication system from vendor ExaGrid, integrating it with their existing Veritas Backup Exec application.

The ExaGrid solution provided a two-site disaster recovery system with fast backups and a scalable architecture. The results included a strong disaster recovery solution, seamless integration, and simple management. ExaGrid's customer support also ensured a smooth installation and easy hardware maintenance, resolving issues without interrupting backup operations.
