Case Study: Soka Gakkai International achieves rock‑solid reliability, bottomless storage and rapid restores with Quantum Corporation's DXi solution

Soka Gakkai International - Customer Case Study

SGI‑USA, the American branch of Soka Gakkai International supporting tens of thousands of members across nearly 100 facilities, runs a lean IT team but large, growing data needs. A move to virtualization and an off-site colocation data center exposed unreliable, tape-based backups and frequent restore failures, creating an urgent need for a dependable, low‑touch protection solution.

SGI‑USA deployed two Quantum DXi6701 appliances (with Veeam and a Dell EqualLogic SAN) and went tapeless. The DXi delivered 27:1 deduplication, near‑bottomless capacity and fast, reliable restores (a deleted file can be mounted and restored in about 20 minutes), eliminating manual tape work, saving ~0.25 FTE, and freeing IT to focus on other initiatives—backed by highly rated Quantum service.
