Direct Compute + Storage Interconnect with Blazing Fast Performance

Wasabi and Equinix Metal have joined forces to help companies accelerate cloud performance and slash data storage expenses. Wasabi hot cloud storage is the industry’s lowest-priced and fastest-performing cloud storage service, while Equinix Metal is the leading bare metal cloud for developers, with locations around the globe.

Equinix Metal Delivers the Promise of the Cloud on Bare Metal

Businesses are looking to cloud computing services to eliminate equipment cost and complexity while accelerating the pace of innovation. However, first-generation clouds like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform often can’t meet the performance demands of today’s data-intensive applications. With these multi-tenant platforms customers are hosted on common infrastructure, competing for shared resources.

Equinix Metal transforms cloud computing performance by eliminating multi-tenancy, providing fully isolated, dedicated bare metal servers for each customer providing you with 100% of the system’s capabilities. Dedicated servers are inherently more secure than a multi-tenant cloud or virtual environment.The Equinix Metal platform avoids resource contention and noisy neighbor problems, bringing the price-performance benefits of dedicated infrastructure to the cloud. Industry compliance such as HIPAA, CJIS, and FINRA are easier to achieve on dedicated servers. Equinix deploys over 70,000 bare metal instances every month from its 20+ global locations, with provision times in just minutes.

Equinix Metal + Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage

Wasabi hot cloud storage with Equinix Metal makes it easy and affordable to manage unstructured data for a variety of important compute + storage use cases, including backup and recovery, data archiving, content delivery, video surveillance, data analytics, application development, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In short, you can run almost any application in Equinix Metal compute and store application data in Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage.

Many of Wasabi’s ten worldwide storage regions are co-located with Equinix Metal in Equinix Data Centers in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Paris, Toronto, and more coming soon. All Wasabi storage regions, including those not deployed in Equinix Data Centers are connected to Equinix Fabric. This connectivity provides the best performance and service reach when working with Equinix Metal compute resources. In addition, this connectivity ensures that there are no data egress charges between Wasabi hot cloud storage and Equinix Metal compute.
Both co-location and Equinix Fabric connectivity ensure the optimal latency and performance for demanding compute + storage work interactions. Learn more about Equinix Fabric here.

Wasabi Delivers Breakthrough Cloud Storage Economics

Wasabi was specifically conceived to make cloud storage a commonplace utility like electricity. Unlike legacy cloud storage services with confusing storage tiers and complex pricing schemes, Wasabi hot cloud storage is extremely easy to understand and incredibly economical to scale. One product, with predictable and straightforward pricing, supports virtually every cloud storage application. Wasabi is 80% cheaper than Amazon S3, with no egress fees or API charges.

Engineered for extreme data integrity and security, Wasabi provides eleven 9s of object durability and supports configurable data immutability to protect against accidental deletions, ransomware and malware. A parallelized system architecture delivers breakthrough read/write performance, so you can rapidly move data in and out of Equinix Metal.
