RICONS cut cloud storage costs by switching to Wasabi, eliminating egress fees, reducing TCO, and ensuring fast, secure data recovery.
Overview
Founded in Vietnam, RICONS began in real estate investment. It soon expanded into construction services and today is one of the top three construction companies in the country. RICONS employs more than 850 people and offers design and building services for high-profile projects. When the company sought cost-effective, off-site backup storage, IT quickly saw that Wasabi cloud storage was the ideal choice.
Challenges
RICONS had traditionally used on-premises storage for backups—but when it began using cloud storage to expand capacity, the high costs of cloud backup storage was a problem. After trying both local and international cloud storage providers, IT decided it was time to find a less costly alternative.
- Need for additional capacity — IT needed to expand capacity to the cloud to store daily backups of VMware data.
- High costs of cloud — Storage prices from multiple providers were cost-prohibitive, often due to fees for egress and other transactions.
- High costs of data migration — Simply transferring data from the on-premises storage to the cloud was also very expensive.
Solutions
With a recommendation from local distributor QD.TEK, RICONS tried Wasabi and quickly found that it met the company’s needs in multiple ways:
- No egress fees — Our pricing model eliminates egress fees, which add up quickly and make cloud storage very costly.
- High performance – RICONS was happy with the fast backup and restore speeds with Wasabi.
- Object Lock – The company enhanced security with immutability, which protects data from tampering, malware, and ransomware.
- Data lifecycle management – Automation simplified management and helped optimize storage capacity, further reducing costs.
