Descriptions

Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has proven itself time over time. They host anything, from very small startups to large enterprise clients, like Nintendo’s Pokemon GO, or basically any NFT marketplace.

Google Cloud Storage was first to introduce Interconnect.

Google Cloud Storage Interconnect facilitates cheap egress costs, from the storage to your CDN supplier. Which means that, when you put a CDN in front of your google cloud object storage, the egress traffic (from google to the CDN) will either be cheap or even free. Essentially, since you’re paying for the bandwidth on the CDN side as well, saving you money on needless costs.

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.
