Case Study: Technical University of Munich secures 300TB Microsoft 365 backup with Scality ARTESCA

Technical University of Munich secures scalable BaaS with LRZ and Scality ARTESCA

The Technical University of Munich, supported by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), needed to securely back up 300TB of Microsoft 365 data for 40,000 users. Their challenge was to build a new on-prem Backup-as-a-Service solution that ensured digital sovereignty, cyber resilience, and the ability to scale, safeguarding critical data from potential threats.

Scality provided its cyber-resilient ARTESCA S3 object storage software, which was deployed with Veeam backup software on a single server. The solution from Scality successfully secured the university's data, requires only 1–2 hours of monthly maintenance, and is ready to scale to other Bavarian universities, forming the foundation for LRZ's expanded BaaS offerings.
