Case Study: World Central Kitchen improves media workflows and disaster recovery with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

World Central Kitchen protects 90TB of media and unlocks cloud workflows with Backblaze

World Central Kitchen (WCK), a global nonprofit providing meals in disaster zones, faced a critical data vulnerability. Their vast library of photos and videos was stored on a single on-site system, leaving it unprotected from physical damage and inaccessible for remote workflows. To safeguard this vital archival content and improve efficiency for their communications team, WCK needed a secure, off-site backup solution. They turned to Backblaze and its B2 Cloud Storage service for a remedy.

Backblaze provided a seamless solution through its integration with WCK's new QNAP NAS device, automatically backing up all on-site content to the cloud. This implementation gave WCK complete disaster recovery preparedness and peace of mind. The results were immediate: WCK's data is now 100% disaster-proof, protecting two years of content. Furthermore, Backblaze's user-friendly system reduced time spent on backup management and served as a key to unlocking future cloud-based media workflows, allowing the team to focus more resources on its primary mission.
