Backblaze, headquartered in San Mateo, provides cloud storage and online backup, boasting trust with over an exabyte of data from customers in 175 countries. A backup service specialist, Backblaze describes their B2 cloud object storage service as S3 compatible and purpose built to provide simplicity, reliability, and affordability.

As opposed to block storage, object storage (or object-oriented storage) intrinsically associate datas with rich metadata. While block storage is accessed through operating systems using unique location identifiers, object-oriented data is accessed via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http), and can be arranged via information associated to it such as size, data of creation, the name of the file, etc. While block storage is preferred where high throughput is paramount (e.g. for business critical applications), object storage may be preferred by developers for its ease of access, or for archived data that must yet remain discoverable, and searchable via associated metadata.

In Symform’s revolutionary Cloud Storage Network, each user contributes excess local storage in exchange for valuable storage in our globally distributed cloud. We're able to provide the most affordable, secure, high-performing, and environmentally friendly cloud storage on the market because our hands aren't tied by the security risks and variable costs of maintaining datacenters. 

Symform started when two senior Microsoft engineers wondered: why is local storage so cheap but cloud storage so expensive? Why does it cost thousands per year to store two terabytes of data in the cloud, while a two-terabyte drive costs only $100? 

The answer lay in the foundation for every cloud solution: the datacenter. Building datacenters—even the most efficient datacenters—is expensive and burdensome, especially because new datacenters have to be built to keep up with data growth, which isn’t going to slow down any time soon. So Symform’s founders set out to design a cloud solution that bypassed the datacenter problem. They ended up with the world’s first distributed cloud storage network. 

Today, the Symform team is creating the world’s largest datacenter, without ever building a datacenter. Our network grows each time somebody realizes that the age of paying for storage by the gigabyte is over. We’re proud to offer pay with Bytes instead of Bucks, a revolutionary way to pay for cloud storage and proud that the storage is the best in the world.

Object Storage Solutions

We made the decision to use Amplidata so that we could offer a powerful cloud storage solution to our clients for housing and managing their sensitive data. We primarily used this for our B2B clients. It is truly something that every enterprise organization should consider purchasing if you need to store large amounts of data and have the option to be flexible without major customizations.

Flexible data management options
Powerful data housing system storing trillions of bits of data seamlessly
Conveniently built in the cloud
Safe option for storing sensitive data

Lack of customization, though not much is needed with the out of the box solution
Better options for B2C customers
More flexible pricing plans

Amplidata has enabled us to replace our on-premise data storage for many of our larger clients, thus reducing the cost to deploy and house this ourselves
Clients feel confident in storing their sensitive data with us knowing that they have full management and visibility at their fingertips
The ability to quickly scale allows us to meet the needs of clients of all sizes

Expand our data storage capability for customers
Secure our data with cloud-based storage, thereby earning customer trust
Simplify the storage and accessibility of data so that a number of users can utilize it at any time from anywhere
Manage user accessibility roles to ensure the right people have access to the right data- and lock down certain sensitive pieces of data as needed

We were able to segment our data for certain projects so that only those assigned to the project could access the data
We have been able to include cloud based data storage as an add on in customer contracts, and have since found that customers prefer this 5:1 to on-premise storage solutions

We have plans to acquire a number of smaller IT platforms in the near future and look forward to using this solution to import the data elements quickly and efficiently. This will also allow us to keep the data for each company separate.

We were bringing on a particularly complex client who needed to discuss sensitive data requirements. A support representative offered to participate in a three-way conference call to address all of the customer’s questions, leaving them very assured and ready to proceed.
