Case Study: TAL International strengthens backup storage and disaster recovery with ExaGrid

TAL International boosts backup efficiency with ExaGrid and 20:1 deduplication

TAL International, a major global container leasing company, faced significant challenges with its outdated tape-based backup system. The burdensome administration and inability to complete daily backups across its geographically dispersed offices created logistical headaches. To solve this, TAL International implemented a disk-based backup storage solution from ExaGrid, which supported their mix of Oracle RMAN, Dell NetWorker, and Veeam backup applications.

The ExaGrid solution provided a two-site system with adaptive deduplication, achieving a 20:1 deduplication ratio that maximized storage space. Automated replication kept their disaster recovery site in sync, ensuring it always had production data. This alleviated the manual administrative burden and provided a fully automated, reliable process. ExaGrid's assigned customer support engineer also provided fast and helpful assistance, contributing to a greatly improved backup and recovery operation.
