Case Study: Wenatchee Valley College boosts backup security and performance with ExaGrid

Wenatchee Valley College reduces backup windows by 57% with ExaGrid

Wenatchee Valley College faced challenges with an outdated Dell backup appliance and Veritas Backup Exec software that resulted in long backup windows, unreliable restores, and a lack of capacity for data growth. After a local college suffered a ransomware attack, enhancing security became a critical priority. The college sought a future-proof and reliable solution, leading them to evaluate ExaGrid.

By implementing an ExaGrid system integrated with Veeam backup software, the college achieved a 57% reduction in its backup window. The solution provided comprehensive ransomware protection through ExaGrid's tiered air gap and immutable data features. Restores became fast and reliable, with a 1TB server recovered in just 90 minutes during production hours without impacting users. The college also praised ExaGrid for its proactive and personalized support, which contributed to a system with no interruptions or downtime.
