Case Study: Hauraki District Council achieves instant scalable backups with Wasabi Technologies

Instant Scalability and Reliable Backups for the Hauraki District Council

Hauraki District Council, a local government organization in New Zealand’s Waikato region, needed a better disaster recovery storage strategy. Its IT team was relying on Veeam backups copied to disks and physically moved off-site, a process that was slow, labor-intensive, and difficult to manage during emergencies.

Working with Wasabi Technologies, the Council integrated Wasabi Cloud Object Storage directly into its Veeam backup environment to eliminate the need for physical disk transport and gain instant scalability. The solution provided predictable pricing, immutable storage with Wasabi S3 Object Lock, and reliable restore testing, helping Hauraki District Council stay within budget, simplify backup operations, and recover data confidently when needed.
