Wasabi is game changing, leading-edge cloud technology that allows users to affordably store a nearly infinite amount of data. Wasabi is an entirely new approach to cloud storage… a bottomless cloud that grows with your business.
Day in and day out, cloud storage is the only thing we think about. This single-minded approach has us laser focused on making cloud storage a simple utility, just like electricity. You pay as you need it, it’s always on and always available. Why is this so vital? Because everyone needs to store data, and we’re generating more of it every day. The decision to keep it or discard it depends on the price of storage. Business models increasingly depend on analyzing data. From drug discovery to discovering new exoplanets, from defeating ransomware to storing cryptocurrency, it all depends on storing large amounts of data cheaply. We figured that if we could cut the cost of storage by 80%, the effects would ripple through the IT industry as customers find new ways to use an abundance of data that they previously couldn’t afford to keep. Every day we see our customers embarking on data-intensive applications that would have been unthinkable before the advent of such inexpensive, super-fast, cloud storage.
