Our take

The cloud storage revolution is accelerating, and more companies want to make use of its services. But for some, the options out there may be unappealingly complex to implement, or simply beyond their financial reach. Wasabi Technologies supplies quick, reliable, and affordable cloud storage, so that more companies can make the most of the cloud.

Wasabi was founded in 2015 in hopes to make cloud data storage cheaper, as well as faster and simpler. The company provides Hot Cloud Storage, a one size fits all storage technology that is significantly cheaper than competitor alternatives. With its solution, users can affordably store near infinite amounts of data in a manner which is simple to access and easy to manage.

Wasabi Technologies has an impressive number of customers and partners globally and has raised substantial funding over the years. The latest investment is being used to to accelerate Wasabi’s expansion into AI infrastructure, as well as growing its footprint and product portfolio.
