Case Study: Catawba College cuts cloud storage costs with Wasabi Technologies

Catawba College Switches Cloud Storage Vendors to Avoid Annoying Transaction Fees

Catawba College, a higher education institution in Salisbury, North Carolina, needed a reliable and affordable cloud storage option for archives and disaster recovery as aging hardware and a co-location agreement came up for renewal. After trying another major cloud provider and getting frustrated by transaction fees and higher-than-expected costs, the college turned to Wasabi hot cloud storage.

Wasabi provided Catawba College with hot cloud storage that charges no fees for egress or API requests, helping the school move backup, archive, and disaster recovery data to the cloud more cost-effectively. As a result, Catawba reduced archiving and disaster recovery costs, could retain security video for longer periods, and freed up funds for other campus improvements.
