Challenges
SpawGlass utilized an on-premises storage solution to manage their massive data footprint, and Vice President of IT Keefe Andrews faced the challenge of securely and affordably storing all that data. Internal regulations required the company to preserve vast quantities of data over extended periods, which came with extensive manual upkeep and high overhead costs.
Low affordability
Maintaining a large archive on-premises became increasingly burdensome and costly.
Meeting regulations
SpawGlass must maintain their records for extended periods in accordance with internal record-keeping standards.
Maintaining security
Storing critical data on premises creates a single-point-of-failure and increases risk of data loss.
Solution
After surveying the marketplace, SpawGlass turned to Wasabi Cloud NAS for a scalable archive storage solution with validated integrations with its existing tools. A deciding factor was Wasabi’s transparent pricing model without egress or API request fees, which eliminated the unpredictable spikes in monthly costs common to hyperscale storage providers. For Andrews, the most impactful feature was the ability to set specific data as immutable with Wasabi Object Lock‚ safeguarding its data against accidental deletion or malicious action. This air-gapped storage bolstered SpawGlass’s security posture and reduced their risk of data loss.
Simple setup — Wasabi Cloud NAS’s S3-compatible storage integrates with thousands of popular applications, making onboarding a breeze.
Price transparency — Wasabi’s flat-rate storage without usage fees makes budgeting predictable month-to-month.
Immutable protection — Wasabi’s free-to-use Object Lock feature protects sensitive data from accidental or malicious deletion.
Results
For SpawGlass, adopting Wasabi Cloud NAS yielded a more streamlined operation: less hands-on, daily data management, saving the team time and budget compared to their previous solution. The enhanced data protection from Wasabi’s off-site, immutable storage reduced the risk of data loss and laid the foundation for a fully compliant archive that’s ready to scale as the business grows.
