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.
Openstack’s founders, Rackspace and NASA, have created this platform with (public) cloud in mind.
Openstack is completely opensource and freely availalble under the Apache License. Meaning, you’re free to spin up your own cloud using their software. Openstack’s storage solution (Swift) is pluggable to be s3 compatible.
Openstack has many providers offering up their hardware on the openstack IaaS layer. To name a few: Canonical’s Ubuntu Bootstack and TATA’s managed infra services
Openstack’s pluggability is where its true power lies. Its sourcecode is written in Python and actively maintained. They have many performance and security enhancements, as well as plugins ready to be installed.
