Case Study: The College of New Jersey improves backup performance and ransomware protection with ExaGrid-Veeam

The College of New Jersey cuts full backup time from a weekend to 8–9 hours with ExaGrid

The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) was facing challenges with its end-of-life Dell Data Domain backup storage solution, which lacked scalability, redundancy, and immutable storage required for cybersecurity insurance. They needed a replacement that could improve performance and meet their security requirements, leading them to evaluate solutions from vendor ExaGrid.

ExaGrid implemented its Tiered Backup Storage with a scale-out architecture and Retention Time-Lock feature. This solution cut TCNJ's backup window in half, accelerated restore performance, and provided the immutable storage needed for ransomware recovery and insurance compliance. The ExaGrid system also enabled instant recovery capabilities and seamlessly integrated with their existing Veeam backup application.
