Descriptions


Backblaze


Backblaze’s amazing story on how they pivoted their business to Storage Pods is a recommended read for sure.

Backblaze offers two products:

  • B2 Cloud Storage: An object storage service similar to Amazon’s S3.
  • Computer Backup: An online backup tool that allows Windows and macOS users to back up their data to offsite data centers.

Their pricing is competitive and publicly listed.

We have only listed the features of the b12 Cloud Storage solution, to make sure all providers on this site can be evenly compared.


OVH Object Storage


OVH has been around in the cloud hosting world for a very long time. In the 20 years they’ve been in the hosting industry, they have certainly earned their stripes.

OVH’s public cloud storage offering is quite literally a hosted version of Openstack Swift in the past, they’re putting more effort into creating a better value-add, with slick documentation and to-the-point FAQ.

A big advantage for European companies is that OVH’s Object Storage is completely GDPR compliant.

Clients of OVH’s storage product are not disclosed, making privacy sort of a feature.
