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.
World’s biggest Cloud Storage Provider. Amazon, traditionally an online book store, has put a target on the cloud compute space when it shifted its focus to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2006. E-Commerce competition was tough, but public cloud companies back then were scarce, and usability and user friendly products were a long way from being invented.
Amazon’s reign on cloud computing has left its mark in public cloud-land. Competitors have trouble keeping up, if they even get to a point of feature-parity at all. With Amazon’s S3 storage being one of the first, it has basically dictated a standard for the public cloud’s blob storage protocol.
Needless to say, Amazon invented the S3 (Simple Storage Service) standard.
