This company wants to help universities get around Microsoft 365's extra costs as it moves away from unlimited cloud storage
Microsoft's free unlimited education storage is gone, and Arcitecta is the latest vendor selling universities the exit ramp they need.
Arcitecta, a Melbourne-based data management firm, has introduced Mediaflux Connect 365 to assist universities transitioning away from Microsoft 365's costly storage solutions. The new tool scans universities' OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data, identifying and relocating it to more affordable on-premises options or alternative cloud storage providers before Microsoft begins charging overage fees as of December 2026.
Overage costs could result in universities paying up to $360,000 per petabyte of storage per year, a significant increase from the recent elimination of Microsoft's unlimited storage offering. Mediaflux Connect 365 takes effect immediately, helping institutions identify and migrate data before costs escalate. By moving data to a third party, universities could potentially save up to 90% on storage expenses.
