Case Study: Aberdeen FC modernizes media backup and archiving with Wasabi cloud storage

Aberdeen FC Modernizes Media Backup and Archiving in the Cloud

Aberdeen FC, the Scottish Premiership football club, needed a better way to protect rapidly growing media, performance, and system data as its on-premises SAN reached capacity. With limited off-site protection and decades of historical footage at risk, the club turned to Wasabi Technologies and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage to support backup, recovery, and long-term archival needs.

Wasabi Technologies helped Aberdeen FC implement a cloud backup and active archiving strategy alongside its existing SAN, enabling off-site replication for critical workloads and secure storage for historical media without replacing infrastructure. The result was 50% lower storage costs, full 3-2-1 backup compliance, and the ability to preserve and access more than 100 years of club archives with no data egress fees, all in a rollout completed in just two days.
