As your customers continue to recognize the many benefits of the cloud, increased demand for cloud storage is transforming the sales and service landscape for managed service providers (MSPs). Your customers’ need for affordable, scalable, and secure cloud storage will only grow more insatiable, which opens a wealth of opportunities for you to attract and quickly onboard more customers, unlock new revenue streams, and improve customer satisfaction.

Our suite of management and enablement tools is designed to help scale your business with ease and efficiency, providing the competitive edge you need to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Wasabi delivers simple management for multi-tenant cloud object storage

Wasabi Account Control Manager is a storage management platform that simplifies the management of a multi-layered, multi-tenant cloud storage service. We make it simple to manage multiple customers, provision storage, track usage, and more.

With Wasabi Account Control Manager, distributors or large MSPs can sell Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage to both end users as well as other MSPs, who then sell to their end users, and manage everything from one control account. In addition, you can white-label the Wasabi service to promote your own brand with end users.

You can service more customers with less effort using Wasabi Account Control Manager. This powerful dashboard offers robust features and capabilities that enable you to simplify storage management, enhance efficiency and customer services, and help customers get the most value out of their storage solution.

  • Invoicing made easy: Automate customer invoicing, whether you’re billing monthly or quarterly. This not only reduces the administrative burden but also ensures that your revenue is predictable and consistent.

  • Automated reporting: Building reports for ongoing account management is simple. You can quickly generate reports that provide valuable insights into your customers’ storage usage, helping you identify opportunities for upselling or ensuring that your clients are staying within their allocated budgets. This can help you increase your revenue while also providing your customers with new services or insights that benefit them.

  • Visibility at a glance: Our single-pane-of-glass interface gives you visibility into all of your customers’ storage accounts in one place. This comprehensive view makes it easier to track usage patterns and identify potential issues—such as nearing capacity thresholds or spotting misconfigurations—so you can proactively address concerns before they become problems or before customers notice any issues.

  • Detailed answers to important questions: Customers sometimes want to know how much storage they’re consuming, or what their costs will be. We make it simple to provide them with a wealth of valuable data, including current consumption, total consumption, number of stored or deleted objects, how much data is being egressed, and more.
