Case Study: U.S. State University simplifies cloud storage and lowers costs with Wasabi Technologies

How a Top SEC University Simplified Cloud Storage

U.S. State University, a large southeastern public university with 40,000+ students, needed a better way to manage cloud storage across multiple departments. Its IT Services team was dealing with siloed storage, difficult billing across accounts, high management overhead, and the rising costs and egress fees of traditional cloud storage options. Wasabi Technologies provided the cloud storage platform used to address these challenges, along with Wasabi Account Control Manager for administration and billing.

With Wasabi Technologies, the university centralized storage management with a single-pane-of-glass dashboard, improved billing and quota tracking across subaccounts, and added secure backup features such as object lock for immutable storage. The result was faster account management, less administrative burden for ITS staff, stronger disaster recovery capabilities, and lower storage costs than competing providers. The case study also highlights that Wasabi’s no-egress-fee pricing was a key driver of value for the university.
