Case Study: Cornell University achieves business continuity and saves $50,000 a year with Wasabi Technologies and Veeam

Cornell Maintains Business Continuity and Saves $50,000 Each Year with Veeam & Wasabi

Cornell University’s SC Johnson College of Business needed a more reliable way to protect its IT infrastructure and critical academic and hospitality data. Its patchwork of backup tools was complicated, unreliable, and consumed about 20 hours each week in troubleshooting, creating serious concerns about data availability and business continuity.

To solve this, Cornell University implemented Veeam Backup & Replication with Wasabi hot cloud storage. The new setup backed up 120 virtual servers and other systems more reliably, enabled near-instant recovery, and improved disaster recovery planning with immutable cloud storage. With Wasabi and Veeam, Cornell saved about $50,000 per year, cut weekly troubleshooting time, and gained a simpler, more secure backup strategy.
