Challenges
Retelit initially had their own cloud object storage solution but encountered operational roadblocks when building connections across their vendor ecosystem. They needed a solution that would solve their customers’ challenges and drive margins on their services offerings.
Unpredictable and expensive cloud costs
Most of the providers they looked at were costly and inefficient due to complex tiering models. Complicated pricing models strained profitability and scalability, creating unforeseeable costs and inefficiencies for their customers.
Increased ransomware risks
Cybersecurity risks in Italy are on the rise, with increasing ransomware threats targeting critical infrastructure, businesses, and government systems. Retelit needed to provide secure object storage that met the strong market demand for data immutability to help their customers protect against these threats.
Cost Effectiveness
To meet growing demand with digital transformation opportunities in the public sector, Retelit needed customers’ data to remain in Italy and within their own data centers to meet data sovereignty requirements. The fact that Wasabi hosted its first Italian region in the latest Retelit Data Center in Milan – Avalon3, strengthen this value proposition.
Solution
This strategic partnership enabled Retelit to introduce a cloud object storage service offering to better meet the evolving needs of their customers with these key features:
Ease of integration – Leveraging our scalable infrastructure and seamless integration with leading backup software vendors, Retelit can offer customers a state-of-the-art, user-friendly interface and flexible data localization options.
Cost savings and sustainability – By adopting our simple, predictable pricing model with no fees for egress or API calls, Retelit reduces operational complexity, improves profitability, and passes on cost savings to customers; all of which supports a more competitive go-to-market strategy.
Cyber resiliency and security – Customers can turn on the Wasabi Object Lock data immutability feature for protection against increasing ransomware and cyberattacks.
Results
The partnership between Wasabi and Retelit has been a resounding success, providing customers in the Italian market with secure, scalable, and affordable cloud storage. Retelit also transitioned to storing their own backups in Wasabi, a testament to truly believing in what they sell.
By adopting Wasabi storage, Retelit can now offer enhanced data protection capabilities and predictable storage pricing to more than 65,000 businesses in their portfolio, while continuing to position themselves as a leader in the Italian services provider market.
