Case Study: Pollard Thomas Edwards achieves faster, more cost-effective disaster recovery with Wasabi Technologies

Transforming Disaster Recovery for Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects

Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects, a London-based architectural practice, needed a better way to manage backup and disaster recovery after struggling with an expensive, hard-to-monitor setup from its previous managed service provider. The firm faced high storage and testing costs, limited visibility and control, and unsustainable egress fees, making it difficult to protect file-heavy data such as Adobe files and Autodesk models. Wasabi Technologies was chosen alongside Veeam to address these challenges.

With Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage integrated with Veeam, Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects gained immutable, cost-effective backup storage and the ability to restore directly to its own Azure tenancy. The result was thousands in annual savings, faster recovery speeds of up to 198 Mbps, and a Veeam setup that took just 10–15 minutes. Wasabi Technologies also helped the firm improve disaster recovery confidence and free up budget for other cybersecurity initiatives.
