Our Story

It began with a simple question: “What if we could cut the cost of cloud data storage by 80% while at the same time making it faster and simpler?”  And with that simple question, Wasabi was born, founded by Carbonite co-founders, cloud storage pioneers and two of the leading minds in storage, David Friend and Jeff Flowers.

Since 2017, Wasabi has been changing the cloud storage landscape with Hot Cloud Storage, a disruptively simple, one size fits all cloud storage technology that is 1/5th the price and faster than the competition with no egress fees, API call charges, or additional hidden fees. 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.

Our Mission

Wasabi is on a mission to store all the world’s data by making data storage simple, affordable, fast and secure. If you have data to store, whether it’s backups, x-rays, surveillance videos, financial data, media and entertainment, or scientific data, Wasabi’s pledge is to always be the cheapest, fastest, most secure and reliable cloud storage in the world. It’s all we do, and we do it better than anyone.

Committed to a Sustainable Future

Meeting the world’s data storage needs in the most efficient and sustainable way possible is something we think about daily at Wasabi. That’s why we purposefully designed Wasabi hot cloud storage for optimal power consumption by maximizing the amount of data that can be stored on a single disk. We further reduce our carbon footprint through extensive use of virtualization and by deliberately partnering with data center partners who share our common vision of a greener, more sustainable future.
