Considered Both Products
Scality ARTESCA
Chose Scality ARTESCA
In reality, it did not become a substitute for AWS, since it allowed us to maintain a much more compact and rigid system by taking advantage of the support and evolutionary trend that Scality has and keeping AWS as a leader.
Chose Scality ARTESCA
Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data …
Wasabi Object Storage
Chose Wasabi Object Storage
Azure was too expensive for a cold solution. While it was backed up across 3 different data centers, it wasnt worth the cost. Google cloud is comparable in price, but Google is Google. And they arent good for DoD backups as your data could end up in a foriegn datacenter.
Chose Wasabi Object Storage
Wasabi is a tiny bit more expensive than Backblaze B2 ($5.99 vs $5 per TB per month), and there are minimum storage size/time requirements (1TB, 3Mo), but Wasabi has free traffic each month up to the size of storage which can save you a lot of money.

When high availability and keeping sensitive information safe are top priority Scality is a great option and has good features that make it ideal for these type of applications. For small companies with limited resources to administer extensive systems Scality would not be a good match. It takes people dedicated to this platform to keep it functioning at its best.

If you have a huge collection of files where they are unlikely to change over time, like videos and photos, then Wasabi is a great place to back things up.

  • Id love to see them add a FIPS compliant container to allow for secure storage for DoD.

Usability
As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

Return on Investment
  • We have had a positive ROI.

  • The cost savings from previous Cloud backup solution is over 70%
  • Ease of backups - Incorporation with Veeam already in place
  • Our biggest bottleneck for throughput is our on-prem storage offloading to Wasabi. COuldnt be happier with thier network bandwith.
