It starts nearly seven years ago when we introduced the world to our Backblaze Storage Pod in our “Petabytes on a Budget” post. In reality, the foundation for B2 Cloud Storage goes back much further than last September. In December, Backblaze opened the beta to the public, and another 15,000 users joined in. The Backblaze B2 beta was announced last September, and the response was immediate and enormous as over 15,000 developers, IT personnel, and other interested parties signed up to be part of our closed beta program. Backblaze B2-Built on a Foundation of Technological Innovation Backblaze B2 not only provides cloud storage at one-fourth the cost of leading providers, it also comes with a 99.9% service-level agreement (SLA), free and premium support options, and a growing list of partners who have created integrations to sync, back up, or archive data to the Backblaze B2 cloud. While we parted ways with USB flash drives, we continue to offer many options for restoring your files-explore ways to recover your data here.īackblaze B2 Cloud Storage 1.0 is out of beta and available for organizations large and small to reliably, yet inexpensively, store their data in the cloud.
