Case Study: The Football Pools achieves 95% shorter VM backups with ExaGrid

The Football Pools reduces VM backups by 95% with ExaGrid

The Football Pools, a UK-based gaming company, faced challenges with lengthy virtual machine backup times. Their infrastructure manager, familiar with ExaGrid from a previous role, recommended switching to the ExaGrid system to improve performance and reduce manual intervention.

ExaGrid implemented its tiered backup storage solution, which integrated seamlessly with the company's existing Veeam backup application. The results were significant, reducing VM backup times by 95% and achieving an extremely high data deduplication ratio of 29:1 for Linux backups. The ExaGrid solution provided a "zero-touch" system that required far less technician involvement and delivered a much shorter backup window.
