Scaleway, mostly known for its performance cloud computing brand, launched their Object Storage product some time in 2020. Although quite late, in comparison to other Cloud Compute platforms, they used their to time to release a quality product. Another cool feature is that Scaleway has full GDPR compatibility with their DCs in Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw.
Their list of customers includes Adobe, Dailymotion, and Malwarebytes.
G-Core, once a spin-off of Wargaming, has evolved into a full blown hosting company. Initially, G-Core identified itself as a CDN company. But with the Edge Compute trend going on, our guess is that any CDN company will eventually become either a dedicated hosting or a dedicated compute company.
Wargaming specifically uses G-Core’s Storage solution. And we’re sure many other of G-Core’s hosting customers are also utilizing their storage.
The true strength of G-Core lies in its extensive network and their strong presence in Eastern European countries. Like Centurylink, CDN is the core of the company, so you can expect good performance/TTFB (Time to First Byte) on your assets.
G-Core’s in-portal access to support is a key feature. When dealing with problems, their support is fast and helpful.
