Case Study: Russell Sage College Cuts Backup Costs and Speeds Up Recovery with Wasabi Technologies

Russell Sage Colleges Cut Costs and Increased Backup Speeds with Wasabi

Russell Sage College, a not-for-profit higher education institution serving 3,000 students across campuses in Albany and Troy, New York, needed a more cost-effective way to add offsite backup protection to its locally hosted storage array. With limited budget and growing data security needs, the IT team looked for a solution that could improve redundancy without increasing costs.

Using Wasabi Technologies hot cloud storage with Veeam backups and rClone cloud sync, Russell Sage Colleges created an affordable offsite backup strategy that replicated daily virtual environment backups to the cloud. Wasabi Technologies helped the college lower costs, increase backup speed, and improve data redundancy and ransomware resilience, with the added benefit of no egress or API fees and storage priced at about 80% less than Amazon S3.
