Case Study: Yuba Community College District achieves faster, scalable backups with ExaGrid

Yuba Community College District speeds backups to under 15 minutes with ExaGrid

The Yuba Community College District (YCCD) faced a challenge with its outdated tape backup system, which was too slow to keep up with its virtualized environment, preventing it from backing up all its data. This also impacted its disaster recovery capabilities. YCCD selected ExaGrid's tiered backup storage solution over a competitor to achieve faster, more flexible backups.

ExaGrid implemented a two-site system that integrates with Veeam software. The solution provided faster backup speeds, allowing incrementals to complete in under 15 minutes, and enabled reliable offsite replication for disaster recovery. The combined systems achieved a nearly 10:1 data deduplication ratio, maximizing storage efficiency. YCCD reported that ExaGrid's straightforward management and scalable architecture successfully met its growing data needs.
