Case Study: Lakewood Public Schools achieves faster data restores and reduced IT hours with TechValidate

Lakewood Public Schools in Michigan secures faculty/staff data with CrashPlan

Lakewood Public Schools in Michigan needed to secure faculty and staff data against lost or stolen laptops, hard‑drive crashes and other causes of data loss that were disrupting teaching and IT operations.

They deployed CrashPlan as an on‑premises private cloud, replacing manual USB/external drive backups and providing automated backup/restore for laptops and desktops, device/OS migrations and disaster recovery. The implementation reduced IT hours spent restoring data and increased end‑user productivity—evidenced by quick file restorations after laptop crashes.
