Case Study: Gladstone Institutes improves backup efficiency and disaster recovery with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Gladstone Institutes eliminates 900+ tapes and speeds backups with Backblaze

Gladstone Institutes, a biomedical research organization, faced challenges with their cumbersome and unreliable legacy LTO tape backup system. They needed a more efficient and secure method to protect their critical IT infrastructure and research data. They partnered with Backblaze to utilize its B2 Cloud Storage service.

Backblaze provided a solution by integrating its S3 Compatible API with Gladstone's existing Veeam backup software, enabling seamless cloud backups. This move eliminated over 900 physical tapes, saved the IT team substantial time on troubleshooting, and provided reliable off-site disaster recovery. The result was a more efficient operation that empowered Gladstone's scientists to focus on their vital disease research, all within a transparent and affordable budget.
