Case Study: U.S. Federal Government Agencies Reduce Backup Windows with ExaGrid

U.S. Federal Government Agencies cut backup windows with ExaGrid and scale to 2.7PB in a single system

The U.S. Federal Government, a major user of tape-based backup systems, faced significant challenges with long backup windows, data security concerns, and the inability to keep up with rapidly growing data and stringent regulatory demands. Seeking a more reliable and secure solution, various federal agencies turned to ExaGrid for its disk-based backup with data deduplication.

ExaGrid implemented its system, which works with the agencies' existing backup applications. The solution provided the fastest possible backups through its disk-cache Landing Zone, improved data security, and reduced long-term costs. The scalable ExaGrid system ensured backup windows remained fixed as data grew and offered efficient offsite disaster recovery, giving the federal agencies confidence in their data protection strategy.
