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.
Centurylink, now rebranded/acquired by Lumen is one of the world’s largest internet backbone providers.
Lumen has a storage solution. And it’s fast.
Their cloud platform is relatively new, but given their strong networking background, this sure is a competitor!
Lumen’s solution is “based on a popular software package”, which we guess is Openstack’s Swift.
You’ll have to work your way through literally awful documentation, which is messy and primed for dotNet developers, if you can even find API documentation. Chances are you’re going to be on the phone with their support engineers and/or your account manager in order to get something done.
But hey, having a backbone attached to your storage solution, AND having an awesome API along with it, just looks too good to pass up on.
