INDUSTRY:
MSP

USE CASE:

  • Backup & Recovery

  • Cyber Resilience

Challenges

Pressures of vendor lock-in

Switching to another storage provider would also incur considerable fees.

Inflexible account management

All backups were stored in a single bucket, with no ability to manage accounts separately.

We used Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager to transfer data. Wasabi also had good bandwidth. It was a no-brainer to use Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager.”

Using the white labeling through Wasabi Account Control Manager, we are able to manage the entire stack: the storage, the backups, and everything—and it can be resold as ESI storage. That's perfect.”

A lot of providers have MFA, but Wasabi Multi-User Authentication is a best-in-class solution. It’s very nice, and in our case, we’ve set it up to require multiple people to authorize the deletion of data."

For object storage, we didn't have any specific providers in our portfolio. There’s a lot of benefit with Wasabi in terms of security, storage costs, and storage speed, so now we have at least one partner in our portfolio for that."
