Case Study: Wesleyan University achieves reliable endpoint backups and FERPA/GLBA compliance with TechValidate

Wesleyan University replaces Tivoli, supports FERPA, GLBA compliance with CrashPlan

Wesleyan University, an educational institution, replaced Tivoli Storage Manager with CrashPlan to prevent data loss from lost/stolen laptops and hard drive crashes, support broader data security/privacy compliance (FERPA and GLBA), adopt a self-service IT model, and enable greater employee mobility and remote work.

Wesleyan deployed CrashPlan as an on‑premises private cloud for endpoint backup and recovery, improving reliability and consistency of backups while reducing end‑user support tickets and IT hours spent managing backups. The solution supports laptop/desktop backup and restore, device and OS migration/refresh, and disaster recovery, and helps the university meet FERPA and GLBA requirements.
