Case Study: University of Hull achieves predictable, long-term research storage savings with Wasabi

University of Hull Cracks Research Storage Budgets With Predictable Pricing

The University of Hull needed a scalable, affordable way to store ever-growing research datasets long term, including projects as large as 150 TB. Previous cloud options were difficult to budget for because of yearly price increases and unpredictable egress and API request fees. The university turned to Wasabi Technologies and its Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage for an active archive use case.

With Wasabi Technologies, Hull gained flat-rate cloud storage with no egress or API charges, making long-term budgeting and forecasting much easier. The university initially bought 300 TB for three years and has used about 70% so far, with the ability to scale as needed. The result is predictable, cost-effective storage that helps Hull preserve research data indefinitely while keeping IT budgets under control.
