Case Study: Galveston Computer Solutions slashes backup costs 85% and boosts disaster resilience with MSP360 Managed Backup

Galveston Computer Solutions Tackles Natural Disasters While Cutting Backup Service Costs by 85% with MSP360™ Managed Backup

Galveston Computer Solutions, a Galveston, TX IT services firm serving over 2,000 SMBs, needed a robust, easy-to-manage remote backup after Hurricane Ike exposed the risks and high cost of in-house storage. The company sought a solution that let them control encryption and storage location (notably Amazon S3), improve reporting and support, and dramatically reduce hosted storage expenses—needs that led them to MSP360 and its Managed Backup product.

Using MSP360 Managed Backup with Amazon S3, Galveston Computer Solutions deployed a cloud backup platform that provided local copies, strong reporting, and encryption control while simplifying management for technicians. MSP360 enabled GCS to cut storage costs from $0.20/GB to $0.03/GB (roughly $800/month estimated savings), achieve 99.99% uptime, streamline operations, and expand affordable backup services to smaller clients with improved reliability and support.
