CloudComputing.pt Encourages Lusitania to Test ExaGrid, with Impressive Results
MARLBOROUGH, Mass.-Tuesday 18 August 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ExaGrid® today announced that CloudComputing.pt, Portugal’s premier enterprise cloud computing strategy provider, led Lusitania Seguros to
install ExaGrid’s Tiered Backup Storage solution, which bolstered the
insurance company’s data protection by increasing the capacity and
variety of its data backups.
Lusitania
emerged in the insurance market in 1986 as the first Insurance Company
with 100% Portuguese capital. Since then, and over more than 30 years,
it has always designed itself as a company with an eye on the future. A
reliable partner in all situations, focusing on creating value for the
national economy, in order to contribute decisively to the progress and
well-being of the entire Portuguese society.
The
IT staff at Lusitania had modernized its infrastructure and used Veeam
to back up its VMware environment, but needed to add to that as the
company’s data and backup needs grew. “We wanted to expand our Veeam
solution and we also needed to back up more Oracle databases and file
servers, but we didn’t have enough time in our backup window to add more
backup jobs,” said Miguel Rodelo, senior systems engineer at Lusitania.
“We decided to test new solutions, and started to request proofs of
concept (POC) for different products.”
Rodelo
and his enterprise IT provider, David Domingos, chief sales officer at
CloudComputing.pt, had attended VMWorld 2018 in Barcelona, where they
stopped by the ExaGrid booth at the conference to learn more about the
tiered backup storage solution, and ended up requesting a POC. “We
decided together to bet on the ExaGrid technology,” said Rodelo. “I said
that if the technology is as good as it claims to be I will buy it, and
my reseller said that if it was that good, he would tell every client
in Portugal about it.
“ExaGrid
was the last POC that we were analyzing, and it ended up being the
fastest and easiest to implement, and compared to the other products we
were looking into at the same time, it was clear that ExaGrid offered
the best backup performance, especially when it came to our Oracle data.
I expected ExaGrid to integrate well with Veeam, and it did, but when I
saw that I can also use Oracle RMAN to make direct backups to ExaGrid, I
decided to implement ExaGrid as our central data storage for backups,”
said Rodelo.
After
working with ExaGrid to deliver high-performance backup storage to his
client at Lusitania, David Domingos is eager to recommend the tiered
backup storage solution to more CloudComputing.pt clients. “One of the
best features of the ExaGrid system is that the client doesn’t feel the
impact of data deduplication because of the Landing Zone feature. When
you look at traditional storage, you run into capacity issues, but
ExaGrid’s deduplication resolves those issues. In addition, ExaGrid
speaks all of the languages of the backup apps and software, so if a
client is using multiple approaches, such as Veeam and Oracle RMAN, or
even Commvault or Veritas, ExaGrid will support all of them. ExaGrid is
versatile and that adds to the value it brings our clients.”
ExaGrid
writes backups directly to a disk-cache Landing Zone, avoiding inline
processing and ensuring the highest possible backup performance, which
results in the shortest backup window. Adaptive Deduplication performs
deduplication and replication in parallel with backups so that an RTO
and RPO can be easily met. 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.
