Overview
Since 2003, London-based Databarracks has provided business continuity and resilience services and solutions to companies across EMEA. With many clients in highly regulated industries, it’s critical that backups be secured and disaster recovery plans finalized well before they’re needed. When the firm wanted to cut storage costs and avoid the billing surprises of hidden fees, they turned to Wasabi.
INDUSTRY:
Managed services
USE CASE:
Backup and recovery
Disaster recovery as a service
Challenges
Databarracks offers backup as a service (BaaS) and needed to switch to a cloud vendor that didn’t charge for reads, writes, egress, or other usage. It was also imperative that the solution integrated with existing infrastructure, which includes Commvault.
No budget predictability
Small charges for accessing and moving data added up quickly, made it tough to accurately estimate monthly storage costs.
Integration headaches
IT wanted a smooth deployment with no downtime or excess manual effort.
Management complexity
Streamlining storage management would free up team time for more critical tasks.
Solution
After a successful proof-of-concept with Wasabi, Databarracks purchased Reserved Capacity Storage (RCS) and activated Wasabi Account Control Manager (WACM). After switching to Wasabi, Databarracks found performance to be comparable to hyperscalers, at a lower cost. Today, Wasabi is used as a backup storage target and supports Databarracks’ proprietary DRaaS platform, Jump-Start.
Savings with Reserved Capacity Storage – IT saves money and can more accurately predict monthly storage costs with the Reserved Capacity Storage pricing model.
Native integration with Commvault – After setting up Wasabi, Databarracks could point Commvault to Wasabi seamlessly.
Immutability – Customer backups are well protected from deletion or modification at no additional cost to the company.
Single-pane-of-glass platform – Wasabi Account Control Manager simplifies multi-tenant management, billing, and provisioning.
Results
With Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, Databarracks lowered storage costs, reduced the IT management burden, and gained peace of mind with an extra layer of security for customer backups.
