Case Study: United Way of Greater Atlanta boosts backup performance and disaster recovery with ExaGrid

United Way of Greater Atlanta cuts SQL backup time from 4-5 hours to 30 minutes with ExaGrid

United Way of Greater Atlanta faced a challenge when its previous Quantum backup appliance reached end-of-life, needing a new solution that could improve slow backup performance and enhance its disaster recovery strategy. The nonprofit organization turned to vendor ExaGrid to implement its Tiered Backup Storage system integrated with Veeam.

The ExaGrid solution provided dramatically faster backup and restore performance, with a SQL database backup job that previously took 4-5 hours completing in just 30 minutes. ExaGrid's scalable system and its Cloud Tier replication to Microsoft Azure delivered a true disaster recovery solution. The implementation also allowed the IT team to utilize more Veeam features for better backup management and gave them confidence through ExaGrid's dedicated customer support.
