University of Leicester Adopts Cloudian Object Storage for Backup
The University of Leicester requires a strong backup infrastructure to protect the data of nearly 30,000 users. However, depending on the backup system in place, the loss of a single media server can result in a total lack of access to backup data or restores for weeks while the IT team acquired and installed new hardware. Recognizing the need for a better solution, the team decided to use Cloudian's HyperStore object storage system as the foundation of a redesigned backup platform. The IT team saved approximately 25% on data storage costs by fully implementing the Cloudian-based solution across its three data centers.
Solution benefits include-
- Availability (protection from media server loss)
- Simpler backup process
- Ease-of-management
