INDUSTRY:
MSP

USE CASE:

  • Backup & recovery

Challenges

Aspire’s on-prem block storage required ongoing maintenance, and consumed data center resources. As a platinum Veeam partner, the team needed a better way to support direct-to-object storage, but re-platforming locally would have been costly and complex.

Resource intensive

Managing on-prem infrastructure demanded time and capacity.

Storage evolution

Aspire wanted to move Veeam backups directly to object storage.

Expensive re-platforming

Refreshing on-prem capacity would require new hardware and licensing.

Scaling constraints

Hardware lead times limited the speed and flexibility for fast-growing customer demands.

The beauty of Wasabi is how quickly it scales. I don’t need to quote hardware, then navigate long lead times, which means our customers get what they need faster. It’s efficient, predictable, and lets us react quickly to demand.

Solution

Aspire structured an evaluation of cloud vendors based on cost, ease of use, and technical fit for their Veeam-first environment. Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage stood out not only for its fixed pricing and native Veeam integration, but also for the company ethos and quality of support. Using Wasabi Account Control Manager and S3-compatible APIs, Aspire set up 150 accounts and now provisions new customer storage in minutes.

  • Simple setup and scripting – Native Veeam integration and API access automate onboarding.

  • Centralized management – Wasabi Account Control Manager provides a single pane of glass visibility across tenants.

  • Built-in immutability – Aspire delivers in-demand ransomware protection, object lock, without complex re-platforming.

  • Predictable, profitable pricing – The Wasabi Reserved Capacity Storage pricing model allows Aspire to offer cloud backup with known costs and healthy margins.

Results

With Wasabi APIs, Aspire was able to speed up repetitive daily tasks. The fast, easy scalability also allowed IT to get new customers up and running in just hours. Happy with the service and features, the working relationship with the Wasabi team, and the way cloud object storage is powering business growth, Aspire plans to double or even triple usage over the next 18 months.
