Case Study: Case Western Reserve University achieves complete endpoint-data visibility and reduced IT effort with TechValidate

Case Western Reserve University enjoys complete visibility of endpoint data with CrashPlan

Case Western Reserve University needed complete visibility and better protection for endpoint data across its campus. Facing risks from lost or stolen laptops, hard‑drive failures, migrations and a push toward increased mobility and a self‑service IT model, the university also needed to meet data security and HIPAA compliance requirements while reducing manual backup processes.

They deployed CrashPlan as an on‑premises private‑cloud solution, replacing manual USB backups and centralizing endpoint backup, restore, e‑discovery and legal‑hold capabilities. The implementation delivered single‑report visibility of device backup status, increased backup reliability, fewer user support tickets, reduced IT hours for monitoring and restores, improved end‑user productivity, and helped maintain HIPAA compliance.
