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.
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.
