Case Study: Hotchkiss fully protects against ransomware with Wasabi hot cloud storage

The Hotchkiss School fully protects against ransomware with hyper-converged infrastructure from Nutanix+HYCU+Wasabi

The Hotchkiss School, an independent boarding school in Connecticut, needed a low-cost, secure way to protect the growing amount of data generated across its campus while avoiding the high and unpredictable costs of hyperscale cloud storage. With a small IT team and increasing ransomware risk, the school looked for a simple, S3-compliant backup and storage approach using Wasabi Technologies, alongside Nutanix and HYCU.

Wasabi Technologies helped Hotchkiss implement a seamless hyper-converged backup environment, with HYCU sending backups to Wasabi hot cloud storage as an off-site target and retrieval site. The result was a more affordable, high-performing data protection strategy with predictable costs, no egress fees, faster recovery and retrieval, and a fully protected environment against ransomware.
