Case Study: The Boston Conservatory achieves an 80% reduction in backup management time and rapid disk-based restores with ExaGrid

The Boston Conservatory Relies on ExaGrid for Disk-Based Backup

The Boston Conservatory, an internationally recognized performing arts school founded in 1867, needed to move off tape backups, which offered short retention and were time-consuming to manage. Working within a tight budget and requiring compatibility with their existing Symantec Backup Exec software, the Conservatory sought an affordable disk-based solution that would increase retention and simplify backup administration.

They adopted an ExaGrid disk-based backup system, which was easy to install and integrated with Backup Exec. The solution delivered rapid restores, reduced backup management time by about 80%, and provided scalable GRID capacity and post-process deduplication that significantly cut storage needs, all backed by responsive ExaGrid support.
