Case Study: The PC Wizard achieves 40% cost savings with CloudBerry Lab's Managed Backup Service

The PC Wizard drops costs by 40% switching to CloudBerry Backup

The PC Wizard, a Torrington, CT IT support firm founded in 1997 that serves 500+ residential and SMB customers, needed to replace tape and an unreliable MozyPro service with an affordable, remotely managed cloud backup that supported client-side encryption, flexible retention and the ability to use low-cost backends like Amazon S3, Azure and Google Cloud. After MozyPro failures and restrictive 90-day retention hurt reliability and margins, The PC Wizard selected CloudBerry Lab’s CloudBerry Managed Backup Service to meet those requirements.

CloudBerry Lab deployed CloudBerry Managed Backup Service, delivering a vendor-independent client with centralized remote management, customizable retention/purge, compression and client-side encryption while leveraging multiple cloud backends. The PC Wizard tripled its backend storage from 3 TB to nearly 8 TB, cut costs by 40%, made its backup service profitable, and can now offer more competitive pricing to customers with large data stores.
