Data protection is essential for every organization. Yet as data volumes grow exponentially, today’s backup solutions strain under swelling cloud storage costs. Customers need a better way to secure their data without breaking the bank. 

That’s where Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage comes in. With Wasabi as the S3 cloud storage foundation for leading data protection platforms like Veritas NetBackup, Commvault Backup and Recovery, Cohesity DataProtect, Rubrik Security Cloud, and Dell PowerProtect, businesses can finally back up, recover, and scale their data while freeing up their budgets for IT innovation. 

Wasabi rewrites the cloud storage pricing playbook with a single, predictable fee – just $6.99 per TB/month with no egress fees or API charges. Compared to the hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, Wasabi slashes storage and egress costs by over 80%. 

These radical savings empower partners, including resellers, VARs, and MSPs, to deliver more value to shared customers. By migrating storage to Wasabi, companies can achieve the same robust data protection for significantly less expense. That money can now be invested in fortifying their IT security posture, upgrading technology, purchasing additional help through value-added services, and future-proofing their IT. Wasabi storage savings also give partners opportunities to provide more services and solution capabilities. 

With Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage as the affordable, scalable backend, partners can provide enterprise-grade data protection solutions and services that: 

  • Land larger, higher-value deals with amplified profit margins: Wasabi's disruptive pricing empowers partners to competitively win more extensive, lucrative contracts without sacrificing margins. 
  • Extend protection to new data sources and workloads: Customers can finally apply robust protection to all their data, including previously unprotected sources, without breaking the bank. 
  • Enable faster recovery with rapid restoration: Wasabi's optimized architecture allows partners to deliver blazing-fast recovery point objectives, minimizing downtime. 
  • Provide the opportunity to upsell premium offerings: Partners can increase deal values by upselling added capabilities like proactive monitoring, cybersecurity awareness solutions, and predictive analytics. 
  • Offer comprehensive managed service offerings: MSPs can incorporate leading data protection into cost-effective backup-as-a-service powered by Wasabi's bottomless, affordable storage. 
  • Strengthen client relationships via cost optimization: By drastically reducing storage costs, VARs become invaluable advisors helping clients modernize data protection on a budget. 

Enterprise leaders and MSPs trust Wasabi worldwide to consolidate exponential storage needs at 1/5th the cost of hyperscalers. 

Wasabi is trusted by Fortune 500s, healthcare giants, major film studios, and the MLB, along with top resellers and managed service providers to consolidate exponentially growing storage needs at a fraction of the cost. 

The results speak for themselves. Masahiro Miyajima, Information Systems Department at Figaro Engineering Inc. utilizes Wasabi and Veeam for his company’s Microsoft 365 Backups. “We have seen a 60% return on our initial investment, and our total cost savings will be significantly larger when you factor in all of the downloads and API request fees that we no longer have to pay,” he said. 

Trevor Nkosi, Information Officer and IT Manager for South African production house Urban Brew Studios said that, “Prior to moving to Wasabi, we've had to spend over R12,3 million rand [$633,440 USD] on storage alone. Wasabi came in around 60% below our budget.”  

Stop pouring budgets into the hyperscalers’ swelling profit margins. Pair leading data protection with Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage to unlock savings and possibilities for your business and clients.
