Descriptions


Filebase


Filebase is one of the next generation cloud storage providers. Offering a layer of storage management on decentralized solutions to make the transition from web2 to web3 feel like a breeze.

Filebase leverages the power of Blockchain to ensure global storage redundancy by utilising a couple of decentralized solutions like Storj. Unique to this approach is the aggregation model, which, even in regular storage land isn’t used as much as you’d like to see. Bundling services like this means you’ll move slower in terms of feature parity since you can only offer functionality offered by all underlying providers.

Filebase offers an afforable, flat-based price for egress as well as stored bytes.

With their S3 compatible API, Filebase’s solution looks like a great alternative to Openstack, if you’re not worried about performance or uptime SLA’s.


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.
