Case Study: IMARK Group cuts S3 storage costs with Skeddly

Imark Group - Customer Case Study

IMARK Group, a member-owned marketing group for independently owned electrical distributors, used Amazon S3 to store backups for databases and back-office servers. As their S3 buckets grew due to versioning and “Delete Marker” files, they needed a reliable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective way to clean up unnecessary storage without managing scripts or doing the work manually. Skeddly provided the answer with its Amazon S3 cleanup capability.

Skeddly created a new action called “Erase Deleted S3 Objects,” which IMARK Group used to delete more than 1.9 TB of unused S3 data. The company scheduled the task to run weekly, reducing one large bucket from over 700,000 keys to 60,000 and deleting over 600 GB of unnecessary files each week. The result was significant S3 cost savings, with IMARK Group reporting a 37,600% ROI from the initial cleanup and an ongoing ROI of over 11,900% for only $0.15 per run.
