Case Study: a pre-K-12 public school district strengthens disaster recovery and cuts costs with RapidScale CloudRecovery and CloudBackup

PreK-12 Public School District - Customer Case Study

A preK-12 public school district in Tulsa, Oklahoma, faced significant risks of data loss from flooding, power outages, and ransomware attacks. Their on-premises data center was highly vulnerable, and they lacked a robust disaster recovery plan. The district's IT director sought a long-term, cost-effective cloud solution and chose RapidScale’s CloudRecovery and CloudBackup services to address these challenges.

RapidScale implemented a disaster recovery solution that provided a 4-hour recovery time objective and near real-time recovery point objective for the district's critical servers. This gave the district high availability and geographic redundancy, eliminating concerns over downtime. The solution also delivered substantial cost savings, costing $126,000 over three years compared to a $250,000 on-premises alternative, while allowing the internal IT team to retain control over their environment.
