Case Study: Tavistock College achieves 75% MS Office data reduction with balesio FILEminimizer Server

Tavistock College slashes MS Office data volume by 75% and improves storage utilization and backup processes

Tavistock College, a school in the UK, faced a significant challenge managing the immense and rapidly growing volume of unstructured data from Microsoft Office files created by students and staff. This was straining their storage infrastructure and budget. To combat this file bloat at the source, the school deployed the FILEminimizer Server solution from balesio.

By implementing balesio's Native Format Optimization technology, the college achieved an average 75% reduction in MS Office data volume on its primary storage. This drastically improved storage utilization by a factor of four and led to shorter backup cycles. The solution also contributed to reduced network traffic and bandwidth consumption across the IT infrastructure.
