Walters State Community College needed a secure and off-network data storage solution that would provide a redundant layer of data protection without breaking the bank. The college maintained onsite backups and a secondary backup at another campus but required a solution that would keep data off their network completely. The primary motivation was to find a cost-effective and reliable cloud storage solution that fulfilled their budget constraints. Wasabi's flat-rate pricing, with no additional charges for egress or API requests, made it an ideal choice for the college's financial considerations.

We’ve covered a lot of ground when it comes to our disaster recovery offerings, specifically those that provide immutability to your data backups. Recently we talked about Veeam’s AirGapping process, snapshots from Cohesity, and Amazon S3’s ability to work with prominent vendors. Now it’s time to discuss Wasabi, what they offer and how they’re different.

In our previous blogs, we’ve explored why immutable backups are a good idea for your disaster recovery plan. We’ve also taken a deeper dive into the solutions of top tier providers like Veeam and Cohesity. Now we are exploring a different approach to immutability, and that’s what Amazon Web Services (AWS) has to offer. AWS covers a wide range of services provided by Amazon’s cloud computing platform. In this blog, we’ll discuss Amazon Simple Storage Services (S3). These services can enhance existing technologies to create better backup, data protection, and disaster recovery solutions.

Most organizations are bewildered at the mention of this latest cybersecurity requirement. When the term immutable backup comes up, we often hear, “’What is it,’ ‘Why would I need it?’, and ‘How can it help me?’”

The face of something very familiar is changing. Within a few years you may not recognize the “face” of your data center because many of the technologies you’ve relied on for the last 5-10 years are being disrupted.
