Case Study: DLZ achieves scalable disaster recovery and cost savings with Wasabi Technologies

Engineering Consulting Firm Modernizes Data Archive for Easy, Scalable Disaster Recovery

DLZ, an architectural, engineering, and surveying consultancy with 30+ offices, needed a better way to manage rapidly growing LiDAR scans, project data, and long-term Office 365 backups. Its aging on-premises NetApp storage was running out of capacity, and the company faced business continuity, recovery, and compliance-access challenges. Wasabi Technologies provided the cloud storage foundation DLZ needed for backup, archive, and disaster recovery use cases.

DLZ implemented Wasabi Technologies with Ctera, Veeam, NetApp, and Panzura to store offsite backups, archive data, and mirror critical project files in the cloud. The result was more scalable and resilient data protection, faster recovery options, and strong performance for large files without egress fees. DLZ also reported zero complaints about speed and expects to save thousands of dollars per month if it shifts more mirroring to Wasabi Technologies.
