Backblaze B2
A simple pricing model makes it easy to migrate to, says Jonas DeMuro.
IN BRIEF
A well-polished product in Amazon’s S3 (Simple Storage Service) space. We appreciate that the first 10GB of storage is free, and that the storage costs undercut many competitors. The good documentation is a plus; however, we have concerns that there’s no direct phone support, and the hours are limited for a online chat interaction.
B ackblaze, which started in a small Palo Alto apartment, has seven co-founders that have worked together since 2007, first founding their cloud backup offering, and then in 2015 its B2 Cloud Storage offering. Because it’s an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), this latter product targets software integration for the business market.
