Case Study: The PC Wizard achieves 40% cost reduction and triples backend storage with MSP360 Managed Backup

The PC Wizard Drops Costs by 40% Switching to MSP360™ Managed Backup

The PC Wizard, an IT support firm serving small businesses in Connecticut and Massachusetts, needed to move customers off tape to an affordable, remotely managed cloud backup that supported flexible retention, client-side encryption and vendor-agnostic storage. After issues with MozyPro (backend errors, 90-day retention limits and high cost), The PC Wizard chose MSP360 and its MSP360 Managed Backup to meet those requirements.

MSP360 deployed MSP360 Managed Backup, giving The PC Wizard a centralized management console, retention/purge controls, compression, client-side encryption and the ability to use low-cost backends like Amazon S3, Azure or Google Cloud. As a result, The PC Wizard cut backup costs by 40%, grew backend storage from 3 TB to nearly 8 TB, and turned its cloud backup offering into a profitable, competitively priced service.
