“If we didn’t have the latest backup available in a hydrated format (on the ExaGrid landing zone), a restore would be horrifically slow…We have been able to achieve our desired three-month daily retention targets and are very impressed with the inter-site replication from HQ to the DR site”. Mark Boardman, Infrastructure Manager, CIPD
Key Benefits:
- CIPD no longer manages and transports 750 tapes per month or managing workarounds
- Retention has been increased back up to the desired three months
- Application agnostic ExaGrid works seamlessly with Symabtec NetBackup
- Pay-as-you-grow scalability
- Fast restores from latest full backup on landing zone
- Quick and easy replication from primary to DR site
