In an effort to manage rapid data growth, Saint Michael’s College near Burlington, VT has replaced its existing storage infrastructure with a service that combines local storage controllers with cloud storage.
The significant increase in the volume of data was straining the college’s network resources, and the cost of scaling its existing storage infrastructure to meet demand proved too expensive. The ever-expanding volume of data was also overwhelming the college’s backup system, so it could no longer complete a backup with a 24-hour window.
