Wasabi Technologies has partnered with Dell Technologies to bring hybrid cloud solutions for backup, data protection and long term retention to customers.
The offering, created through Dell’s Extended Technologies Complete program, aims to provide hybrid cloud solutions that help organisations optimise data management processes and reduce costs, Wasabi said.
"Dell is a clear industry leader with a broad and deep portfolio of transformative technology,” said David Friend, co-founder and CEO at Wasabi Technologies.
"This collaboration will extend the reach of Wasabi's cloud storage to a broader audience, catering to users in search of a dependable, economical solutions for safeguarding their data archives over the long haul."
According to Wasabi, the cloud has become the preferred location for long term data backup retention and disaster recovery.
Dell’s PowerProtect Data Domain appliances natively tier data to Wasabi, providing customers a data protection solution for on-premises storage with long term cloud retention.
In addition, Wasabi integrates with Dell NetWorker CloudBoost to bring long term retention in the cloud to existing NetWorker customers.
"The collaboration between Wasabi Technologies and Dell Technologies presents a powerful solution for organisations grappling with data growth," said Dave McCarthy, research vice president at IDC.
"Organisations need a hybrid cloud infrastructure that is efficient and cost-effective, and that has the ability to scale with them during their data management journey. This collaboration meets these challenges head on."
The partnership comes after Wasabi launched a new program in March 2024 that allows partners to create their own branded offering by integrating the vendor's cloud storage solutions with their own.
