If you’re responsible for managing cloud storage across a fast-growing company, you know the drill: more teams, more data, more buckets—and way more complexity. That’s why we’re launching a new enterprise web console, now entering private preview.

Built for scale, security, and simplicity, the new console gives you:

  • Centralized control over your organization’s cloud storage.
  • The ability to add multiple admins who each have their own credentials. 
  • More flexibility in bucket creation, including the ability to create buckets in any region. 
  • Built-in zero-trust security features like mandatory MFA and SSO support.

Whether you’re wrangling storage across departments or delivering managed services to clients, this is the command center that helps you move faster, stay secure, and keep everything organized. Because managing cloud storage shouldn’t be harder than using it.

What’s new in the enterprise web console?

The new web console gives IT admins and managed service providers (MSPs) a clean, central hub for managing B2 Cloud Storage deployments—whether you’ve got a few buckets or a few thousand. Here’s what’s under the hood:

  • Role-based access controls (RBAC): Assign authorized admin users and utilize a resource group architecture so people only access what they need. Great for zero trust—even better for peace of mind.
  • Mandatory MFA: Because “security optional” isn’t really an option anymore.
  • SSO and SCIM support: Manage your user base automatically and at scale.

We also revamped the user interface so it’s faster to navigate, easier on the eyes, and just generally gets out of your way.

Storage where you need it

With this update, you’ll be able to create and manage B2 Buckets in any available region. That unlocks a few big wins:

  • Ensuring data redundancy and disaster recovery through geographically distributed backup copies.
  • Optimizing application performance for global users by reducing data access latency.
  • Compliance with data residency rules.

Ready to get started?

We’re rolling out the enterprise console in private preview starting soon. If you’re a Backblaze customer with a committed contract, reach out to your Customer Success Manager to see if you’re eligible. Not sure who your CSM is? Email csms@backblaze.com for help. 

General availability is coming later this year. Stay tuned—we’ll keep shipping.
