Wasabi Focuses On Just One Thing: Providing the Best Cloud Storage Solution in the World

With a singular focus on cloud storage, Wasabi delivers simple, highly secure, and performant enterprise-class cloud storage – at one-fifth the price of the hyperscalers.

Wasabi claims faster speeds than AWS S3 while being just as durable and reliable. Yet priced closer to what you’d expect to pay for archival storage tiers. On top of that, it doesn’t charge for egress or API requests. That means you get predictable pricing and can access your data whenever you want without being penalized.

Wasabi has been working to become the world’s hottest cloud storage provider, offering pricing and features that support businesses that need flexible and fast storage that doesn’t cost more when they use their data every day. It’s about turning the necessity of cloud data storage into a real opportunity to really put that data to work.

As part of its 2022 global expansion, Wasabi now includes Sydney and Singapore in its global storage network, paving the way for ANZ businesses to take advantage of Wasabi’s incredible pricing while maintaining the speed and performance benefits of local region storage.

With prices up to 80% cheaper than AWS S3, no fees for data egress, and powerful security features, including protection from ransomware, it’s a great time to look at Wasabi hot cloud storage for any digital operation, reseller, or service provider.

Nothing but hot cloud storage – at the right price

Storage is the oxygen every online service needs to thrive. By putting its business focus precisely on improving the hot cloud storage experience, Wasabi has found a path to delivering great pricing to its customers as well as ensuring great network interconnectivity so your data can be leveraged however you need to use it.

While others offer layers of compute, analytics, and other applications, Wasabi is doing just one thing – hot cloud storage. By storing your data with Wasabi and integrating that storage with the cloud services you use elsewhere, you can optimise your pricing and your performance across an ideal multi-cloud solution.

With Wasabi’s laser focus on doing storage well, it has also made it a comfortable partner to many other cloud infrastructure providers. Without the fear of helping a future competitor, Wasabi has opened the door to great benefits for all parties to help everyone get the best experience possible from their multi-cloud solutions.

Wasabi hot cloud storage is S3-compatible, with simple pricing per Gigabyte that offers near unlimited data storage far cheaper than the competition. There are no tiers and no added fees for moving your data across multi-cloud applications and services, so you’ll always know exactly what your bill will look like.

There are two simple pricing options to choose from. Pay-as-you-go storage that charges a direct per Terabyte fee for the storage you use and a Reserved Capacity option that operates perfectly alongside an on-premises storage solution. By entering an agreement for one, three, or five years, you can lock in a great discount for your long-term storage needs.

Customers are welcome to start their Wasabi account up as a Pay-as-you-go service and then convert to Reserved Capacity if they feel ready to move beyond month-to-month payments, and Wasabi is always eager to build new partnerships with service providers and resellers who want to lock in great rates that leave plenty of room for their own end user margins.

The easiest way to see for yourself is to explore the Wasabi Cost Estimator, which compares its price per Gigabyte against those of AWS S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Storage alone is far cheaper, and when you test the percentage downloaded slider, those additional costs reveal just how much you can save against the competition.

For example, storing 200TB of data and downloading 25% per month sees savings of more than $100,000. It adds up very quickly.

Powering high storage services for partners worldwide

With Wasabi’s great storage pricing and free egress, many businesses have found it to be the ideal platform for their high-traffic data needs. These include:

Content Delivery Networks: Wasabi is partnered with CDNs, including Cloudflare, Fastly, and Limelight, to enable Wasabi’s inexpensive, high-performance cloud storage to act as the origin point for delivery across their blazing-fast delivery networks. With high-security storage, the footage is in safe hands.

Media Asset Management: Post-production studios are often collaborating across multiple studios around the world, pushing petabytes of 8K resolution video files back and forth between editors, computer graphics teams, and directors and producers. Wasabi integrates seamlessly between these online and offline asset management needs without costing the Earth through highly variable egress fees.

Video Surveillance: In concert with on-prem storage, Wasabi can be integrated into any video surveillance product as the offsite storage for longer retention of surveillance footage at a great price – without fees for retrieving the footage from the cloud anytime it is needed.

Security and compliance features

Knowing you can rely on Wasabi for your storage has been at the heart of the company’s mission since the very beginning. Designed to deliver eleven nines of data durability and object immutability, Wasabi will ensure your storage objects cannot be modified or deleted by anyone.

At the security layer, Wasabi is SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS certified. For verticals where privacy is of utmost importance, Wasabi is HIPAA and HITECH certified for the health sector, CJIS certified for the criminal justice sector, and FERPA certified for the education sector.

Wasabi also delivers GDPR compliance for EU data needs and MPA compliance to ensure intellectual property best practice is also carefully maintained. Wasabi also supports its customers in their efforts to stay compliant with the needs of their end users.

Wasabi offers fantastic protection against ransomware. Through its immutable bucket technology and support for S3 Object Lock, Wasabi ensures backups managed through its storage will never be accidentally or intentionally deleted or altered.

Google reports more than 19 million phishing attempts are made every day, and successful ransomware attacks cost businesses weeks in downtime and billions in damages. Ensuring your backups will always be there for you when you need them – and won’t cost the Earth to retrieve should the worst occur – will give you greater peace of mind at a time when cyber threats are only growing by the day.

Partner programs and opportunities

With such potential to empower a wide range of data-intensive business sectors, Wasabi has become an ideal solution for partners of all kinds to enhance the quality and profitability of the services they provide to their end customers.

Wasabi has been designed to be 100% bit-compatible with the AWS S3 API, allowing partners to easily link Wasabi with their S3 solutions and earn great savings on an immediate migration. The ability to offer customers a significant storage discount while increasing their own margin at the same time is a true win-win for every managed service provider.

Validated across more than 350 partner technologies and growing, Wasabi continues to work hard on ensuring it is capable of delivering its storage solution to integrate seamlessly with every customer need. With Wasabi’s vast Partner Network, partners can easily manage Wasabi storage for every customer through the Wasabi Partner Portal.
