Now you can drastically minimize data backup costs and support time, despite your increasingly diverse technology environment! Bacula Systems’ low-cost, predictable pricing model means you can relax… and let your data grow.

Largely as a result of external forces and institutional strategic priorities, the transformation of higher education information technology is now happening faster than ever before. Institutional priorities, such as the critical containment of costs, and achieving demonstrable improvements are now starting to become reality. This is demonstrated by innovative IT departments such as Ulm and Hannover Universities, the Universities of Hawaii, Southern Indiana, Alabama, Johns Hopkins, MIT, and many more. These Higher Education and Research IT innovators are also reshaping and revitalizing their departments with new service options and capabilities. However, many university IT departments have yet to improve their Backup and Restore approach, and make the switch from proprietary solutions to open, modern, efficient and higher-value alternatives.

One of the reasons for the explosive adoption of Bacula Enterprise Edition in Higher Education institutions is that the culture of university education and research is one that highly values autonomy, freedom, collaboration and sharing, with decentralized administration and distributed decision-making.

The open core approach of Bacula Enterprise Edition, with its unique pricing model, shares identical values. Through the Universities Data Backup Initiative, Bacula Systems helps your department to maintain IT funding models that sustain core service, support, innovation, and facilitate growth.

Bacula Systems’ advantageous annual subscription model means the resulting reduced or avoided costs may allow for significant reallocation of your department’s resources, shifting from the operation of the institution to a focus on its growth or further transformation.
