Case Study: Northeast Wisconsin Technical College boosts data security and reduces backup complexity with Wasabi Technologies

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Increase Data Security while Reducing Complexity

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC), a higher education institution serving more than 24,000 students annually, needed to strengthen data security and reduce its reliance on tape backups. To support its 3-2-1 backup strategy, the college looked for an offsite cloud storage option that could protect VM, file, SQL, and Salesforce backups while simplifying long-term data protection.

NWTC chose **Wasabi Technologies** and its hot cloud storage, integrated with Commvault, to add secure, scalable offsite storage via the S3 API. With Wasabi, the college improved backup speed, gained immutable storage for ransomware and disaster recovery protection, and made storage expansion easier without additional hardware. The solution also helped NWTC plan IT spending more predictably through Reserved Capacity Storage pricing while moving further away from tape-based storage.
