Case Study: University of Exeter achieves lower storage costs and higher performance with Wasabi hot cloud storage

University of Exeter Goes to Cloud for Higher Performance, Lower Costs

The University of Exeter, a leading higher education and research institution, needed to modernize its research data storage as its on-premises archive system was running out of capacity and required ongoing maintenance. The university turned to Wasabi Technologies and its hot cloud storage, along with Wasabi Account Control Manager, to support multi-tenant research storage and active archive use cases.

Wasabi Technologies helped the university move rarely accessed archive data to affordable, predictable cloud storage with no egress fees, seamless integration, and easier account management. The result was improved day-to-day performance for researchers, reduced IT maintenance burden, and tighter control over storage costs, with the university noting that performance remained as good as its on-site system.
