Case Study: University of Oregon achieves over $50K in endpoint data recovery savings with TechValidate

University of Oregon deploys CrashPlan for endpoint backup, saves $50K

The University of Oregon, an educational institution, faced repeated endpoint data-loss risks from lost or stolen laptops and hard drive failures that drained IT resources and reduced employee productivity. After a documented data-loss event and clear end-user demand for better laptop/desktop backup, the university sought a reliable, centralized solution as part of its disaster recovery and business continuity plan.

They deployed CrashPlan as a private-cloud, on‑premises endpoint backup, replacing manual USB/external-drive backups. The solution delivered increased backup reliability and data security, reduced IT hours spent on restores (saving 1–10 hours per week), and cut endpoint data-recovery costs—saving more than $50,000 while lowering overall costs associated with data loss.
