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.

Wasabi

Wasabi is a relatively new kid on the block in the storage space. However, don’t let that fool you. Wasabi has a very strong storage offering with a lot of features, bells, and whistles. Their storage pricing is what gives them a true edge over other providers. Their list pricing is 80% cheaper than Amazon S3’s storage, for example.

Customers of Wasabi include Kaleidoscope, 7Wonders Cinema and Novus Insight.

Wasabi has S3 compatibilty built into the storage interface.
