Paul Williams, Director of Service Delivery – ebb3

Overview

UK-based ebb3 designs and manages high-performance virtual environments and AI infrastructure for secure accelerated computing platforms. Serving sectors such as engineering, manufacturing and construction, where highly graphical applications and large, complex data sets are the norm, the firm sought scalable, cost-effective backup and archival storage to support evolving compliance requirements.

INDUSTRY:
Specialized managed services provider

USE CASE:

  • Backup and recovery

  • Long-term archiving

Challenges

When ebb3 began its search for cloud-based storage for backups and long-term archiving, it needed a solution that integrated seamlessly with its existing Veeam backup system and aligned with its customers' data retention regulations and recovery objectives.

Cost-effective pricing

Fees drive up cloud storage costs and it’s hard to understand and predict cloud billing with hyperscaler options.

Veeam integration

The storage needed to fit natively into a Veeam backup solution.

Customer compliance support

Stringent data retention policies and other regulations drove up storage needs.  

Multiple account management

Managing storage across a wide array of customer accounts can be a complicated, time-consuming task for IT.

When we analyzed our customers' retention, regulatory, and liability requirements, it quickly became a cost-per-terabyte conversation. Wasabi fit our strategy for archiving and compliance very well.

We went with Wasabi instead of a hyperscaler because it worked seamlessly with the other products we're using in our stack.

Wasabi filled a gap in our product set because it helped us address customers’ retention requirements and business continuity/disaster recovery needs.
