Edge Cloud Platform Powered by Backblaze Wins Enterprise Customer With 68% Cost Savings

A leading global edge cloud platform needed a storage backend that could power their platform's storage-as-a-service offering for enterprise customers. Their customers were frustrated with hyperscaler economics: unpredictable egress costs, regional inflexibility, and storage pricing that didn't scale favorably. To differentiate in a competitive market, the platform provider needed storage infrastructure that could deliver performance at scale for 30+ petabyte workloads.

They selected Powered By Backblaze as the foundational storage layer for their platform. This partnership enabled them to offer customers high-performance storage arrays backed by Backblaze's optimized architecture with S3-compatible API, multi-region availability, free cloud replication enabling multi-region caching, predictable economics, zero-cost egress, and white-glove support from Backblaze during customer proof-of-concept phases.

The partnership with Backblaze enabled the platform to win a major enterprise customer with compelling results in the first 90 days: 68% reduction in storage costs for the end customer vs. their previous hyperscaler, $100,000+ monthly savings on object storage alone, $500,000+ total savings across storage and content delivery, 115 petabytes delivered validating production performance, and improved performance vs. legacy systems.
