Case Study: Stoke on Trent College achieves faster Exchange performance and 24/7 email access with Cryoserver

Stoke On Trent College - Customer Case Study

Stoke on Trent College, an education provider with over 900 staff, was struggling with rapidly growing email volumes and a slow, overburdened Exchange environment. The IT team needed a way to keep mailboxes small (retaining only about three months on the server), give all users—including initially reluctant senior management—continuous access to older mail, and enable maintenance windows without denying access.

Cryoserver archived older messages off Exchange while keeping them instantly available via Outlook and a web interface, enforcing the three-month on-server retention and freeing significant Exchange space. The result was a much faster, more reliable Exchange service, the ability to take servers offline for maintenance without disrupting users, daily use across the college, and a reduction of roughly 5–6 helpdesk calls per day.
