Case Study: Moraine Valley Community College Streamlines Storage and Cuts Backup Time with Wasabi and Rubrik

Moraine Valley Community College Streamlined Storage and Budget with Wasabi & Rubrik

Moraine Valley Community College, a higher education institution in Illinois, needed a better way to protect data and maintain business continuity. The college was relying on weekly tape backups stored offsite, a process that was time-consuming, difficult for a small IT team, and increasingly impractical when staff shifted to remote work. To replace tape and improve ransomware protection and cost predictability, Moraine Valley turned to Wasabi Technologies with Rubrik and Wasabi Reserved Capacity Storage.

Wasabi Technologies helped Moraine Valley implement an S3-compatible cloud archive integrated with Rubrik in just minutes, replacing manual tape handling with regular cloud backups and snapshots. The new setup improved recovery time objectives, simplified budgeting through a 1-year, 100 TB reserved capacity purchase, and reduced backup man-hours by 55%, cutting weekly backup work from six or more hours to just minutes.
