Education
Make the Most of Your Cloud Storage Budget
Solving data challenges in education with a new class of cloud object storage
Elevating education data
The realities of limited budgets make data storage challenging across school systems and at colleges and universities. Traditional storage alone is not equipped to handle the explosive growth of data-hungry use cases today’s learning environments demand.
Wasabi delivers the simplest, most economical cloud storage for educational facilities around the world to bring their ‘A’ game to backup, archiving, and beyond.

Higher Education has a problem with cloud storage fees
The results of our 2024 Cloud Storage Index are in. Cloud object storage is growing in importance but users are still suffering from opaque billing practices. And it's not just egress fees that are making it impossible to stay on budget. API call fees, data operations fees, data retrieval fees, and deletion fees all add up to big headaches for IT decision-makers.
Find out what your peers in higher education are thinking and doing about their data storage challenges.

Case Study
How Cornell saves $50,000 every year with Wasabi
Cornell University uses Wasabi to store and manage the school’s massive data footprint. Now, their central IT can easily backup, track, and rapidly restore their data without unpredictable charges for egress.
The fact that we have about two petabytes of storage in Wasabi and I've had fewer tickets than I have fingers on one hand is a true testament to just how well everything's put together.

Wasabi’s price point is way better. The limitations are not there and the scalability is. It's less complicated to deal with and you don't have all the different tiers of licensing and things that you do with Azure.
