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.

Phoenix NAP

Being a traditional hosting company, Phoenix NAP has always been working to offer the latest and greatest in cloud services and the hosting space.

Their fully S3-compatible storage solution offer, combined with their bare-metal and on-premise cloud solutions, are a fine choice for anyone not willing to give in to the “giants”, like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

PhoenixNAP has valuable partnerships with large tech companies, such as Cisco, Intel, and VMware.
