Case Study: Galveston Computer Solutions achieves 85% backup cost reduction and 99.99% uptime with CloudBerry Lab's Managed Backup

Galveston Computer Solutions tackles natural disasters while cutting backup service costs by 85% with CloudBerry Managed Backup

Galveston Computer Solutions, an IT services firm serving over 2,000 SMBs in Galveston and Houston, needed a robust, manageable remote backup offering after Hurricane Ike exposed the risks of in‑house storage. After unsatisfactory trials with SOS and Intronis, the company chose CloudBerry Managed Backup Service to gain control over encryption and storage location and to leverage Amazon S3 pricing and reliability.

CloudBerry Managed Backup enabled GCS to migrate to Amazon S3, cut storage costs from $0.20 to $0.03 per GB (plus license), and realize estimated savings of at least $800 per month while handling growing volumes (32 TB). The CloudBerry solution improved reporting and ease of management, reduced tech‑support needs, delivered proven 99.99% uptime, and added a reliable cloud backup service to GCS’s portfolio.
