(BUSINESS WIRE) -- ExaGrid®, a leading provider of intelligent hyperconverged storage for backup, today announced that Bridgestone has streamlined its backup environment by implementing ExaGrid hyperconverged backup with data deduplication.
Since switching to ExaGrid, Bridgestone reports notable results such as:
- 79% reduction of weekly backup window
- Incremental backups every 3 hours that now take 24 minutes each
Nashville,
Tennessee-based Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (BATO) is a
business unit of Bridgestone Americas, Inc., whose parent company,
Bridgestone Corporation, is the world’s largest tire and rubber company.
BATO develops, manufactures and markets Bridgestone, Firestone, and
associate brand tires.
Corey
Johnson, a technology analyst at Bridgestone’s Aiken PSR plant in South
Carolina, realized that his company needed a modern approach to backing
up its data. “We were working with old hardware and older, outdated
software, and it was time to look into a more efficient backup system
for our file server backups.”
After
evaluating several big brand solutions, such as Dell EMC Data Domain,
Johnson chose to install ExaGrid and Veeam as its new backup solution.
“We felt that ExaGrid was the best system for us as far as its
performance and scalability, and its data deduplication was also a major
factor. We updated our hardware and moved toward virtualizing the
environment, and took some advice from some of the other Bridgestone
plants by updating our backup application to Veeam— and it just all fell
together,” said Johnson.
Johnson backs
up data at Bridgestone’s Aiken PSR plant in daily incrementals and
weekly fulls. The daily incrementals occur every three hours, taking 24
minutes each—an “impressive” ingest rate according to Johnson. “The
backup window for our weekly full has been reduced from 19.5 hours to 4
hours.”
ExaGrid
writes backups directly to a disk Landing Zone, avoiding inline
processing and ensuring the highest possible backup performance, which
results in the shortest backup window. Adaptive Deduplication performs
data deduplication and replication in parallel with backups while
providing full system resources to the backups for the shortest backup
window. Available system cycles are utilized to perform deduplication
and offsite replication for an optimal recovery point at the disaster
recovery site. Once complete, the onsite data is protected and
immediately available in its full undeduplicated form for fast restores,
VM Instant Recoveries, and tape copies while the offsite data is ready
for disaster recovery.
Johnson
reports proactive customer support not experienced when dealing with
other vendors. ExaGrid’s industry-leading customer support team is
staffed by trained, in-house level 2 engineers who are assigned to
individual accounts. “A lot of support engineers from other vendors are
hit or miss – they are hard to get hold of, don’t understand my problem
or environment, or they may be located offshore – but there hasn’t been a
time that I have reached out to my ExaGrid support engineer without
receiving a quick response. He has been an extreme help in getting our
backups to where they need to be.”
