And OpenIO has integrated with B2 to enable its customers the ability to intelligently mange where their data is stored and in turn lower storage costs.

Cubix has integrated with B2 to use it as a storage destination for its customers’ archival media data. When they need to retrieve it the data will be decrypted and restored through Cloudberry. Users of Cloudberry can encrypt and backup their Windows Server data before sending it to B2. Synology users can select B2 for their cloud destination. Synology has integrated its Cloud Sync feature for its NAS devices. Backblaze states that this is a testament to B2’s abilities and attractiveness to customers (though it also makes since for companies to offer as many features as possible for their customers).

Several companies have integrated with B2 during its beta. Through the beta, Backblaze has worked with many users in an effort to improve the service by adding features and integrations. Backblaze states that since the beta began, B2 has stored up to 250PB of data and helped recover more than 12 billion files.

Once the beta was opened to the public, BackBlaze saw yet another 15,000 users join. The initial opening of the beta saw 15,000 users adopt it. Moving B2 out of beta will open it up to all interested parties.īackblaze first opened up its B2 Cloud Storage for beta in September 2015. Backblaze states that the two main benefits that they offer is that they are roughly one-fourth the price of similar competing cloud storage (AWS and Azure), it comes with a 99.9% Service Level Agreement (SLA), and B2 offers both free and premium support options. As the name implies, B2 is cloud storage for organizations of all sizes. Today Backblaze announced that its B2 Cloud Storage is moving out of beta with its 1.0 launch.
