Talisys IT staff finds Backblaze backup can reliably protect the financial software firm's data at work, but is simple enough to pay for to use at home for personal data.īackblaze’s storage infrastructure is housed across two regions, in the US (west coast) and in Europe (Amsterdam).
Several vendor partners joined the launch with integrations. Backblaze releases S3-compatible APIs for its B2 Cloud Storage. Backblaze S3-compatible APIs set up cloud battle.That’s a quarter of what S3 charges, said Thomas.ĭownload charges are cheaper too with Backblaze, at 1c per GB, which it says compares to around 9c per GB from the big three. Instead, Backblaze claims its price list only runs to one line and offers cloud storage at 0.5 cents per GB per month. “Predictability is what businesses need but AWS – and the ‘cloud oligarchy’, as we call them – base their service charges on units and time management most humanoids don’t understand without complex calculations and advanced degrees.” “Lots of people on AWS are not able to predict their bill and face increasing costs to keep things running,” said Thomas.
It’s this area of difficulty that a relative minnow like Backblaze seeks to exploit as it offers free migration to its services. But at the same time the tariffs of the big three providers are incredibly complex and can lead to cloud storage costs spiralling out of control. The Backblaze view is that there’s no doubt AWS and companies like it have made a massive contribution to IT as we currently know it, with cloud operations becoming the norm and all sorts of knock-on effects on how we do business.
