Case Study: Bell Bank saves 400+ hours a year with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Bell Bank saves 400+ hours a year with Backblaze

Bell Bank, a major financial institution, acquired a video marketing agency that became Bell Studios. The studio faced a significant challenge with its data storage infrastructure, which relied on an inefficient Linear Tape-Open (LTO) system. This manual process required over 400 hours per year to manage, involved risky data duplication, and lacked a viable disaster recovery solution. They sought a new system to automate backups and improve data access.

The studio implemented Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage for active archiving and daily backups. Using Backblaze Universal Data Migration, they mirrored their data to the cloud. This solution automated their backups, saving over 400 hours annually, and provided instant access to archived footage. The Backblaze implementation also met the bank's rigorous compliance standards and created a secure, off-site disaster recovery solution they lacked with tape.
