Every night we ingest and upload 6–7TBs of data. At the same time we process multiple thousands of photos and video clips to keep the players and fans engaged and on fire. There was bulky, aging LTO hardware and now it’s gone. Our IT organization is now faster, more nimble, more digital, more cloud friendly, and ultimately more useful and suited to the company.

FAQ

Beyond backup and archive, is Backblaze B2 performant enough for my live production and/or content distribution needs?

Yes. Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is highly performant and always hot, with a 99.9% uptime SLA. Many organizations use the platform for live production or content distribution use cases. B2 Cloud Storage scales easily, accommodating the large volumes of assets generated during live events without compromising speed or accessibility.

We have a lot of content on various legacy storage systems including tape. Is there an easy way to move all of it into the cloud?

Backblaze’s Universal Data Migration service can handle inbound data migration from practically any legacy on-premises or cloud source—including servers, NAS, SAN, LTO, public clouds, and cloud drives. What’s more, with committed contracts and all B2 Reserve bundles, Backblaze will cover data transfer costs and legacy provider egress fees in all but a few exceptions.

Is Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage easy to integrate with my existing workflow?

Yes, Backblaze B2 integrates seamlessly with most software and hardware solutions that are used in production, post-production, and asset management workflows. Often, the process is as simple as generating an app key within Backblaze, and then going into your preferred workflow tools and designating Backblaze with your app key as your designated cloud storage destination. Check out Backblaze Documentation for more detailed information.

How does Backblaze B2 ensure the security and privacy of our data?

Backblaze B2 uses industry-standard security practices and technologies to protect your data, from two-factor authentication to server-side encryption (SSE). The platform is designed for 11 nines of durability. And, your data is stored securely and privately in our SOC-2 compliant data centers, with you retaining full control over your data at all times.

Can I use Backblaze B2 with Adobe’s Premiere Pro or Frame.io for cloud storage outside of Creative Cloud?

Yes, in many cases. We do not have a formal partnership with Adobe or a panel inside Premiere Pro; however, we’re always delighted to see people and organizations effectively leveraging Frame.io’s API while storing to Backblaze B2 instead of Creative Cloud. The Backblaze Blog also has a series about using Frame.io and Backblaze B2 as well as using Adobe Premiere Team Projects with Backblaze.

How does Backblaze compare to AWS?

Backblaze B2 offers you highly performant, S3 compatible cloud object storage priced at about one-fifth the cost of Amazon S3 Standard, and includes free egress up to 3x monthly storage. And unlike Amazon's Glacier tiers, you'll enjoy always-hot access with no costly retrieval times and fees, minimum storage duration fees, and other add-on expenses. The Backblaze B2 platform is also tech stack agnostic to support your preferred media production workflows. Many media teams have found they can do more for less with Backblaze B2.

How does Backblaze compare to Wasabi?

Backblaze B2 offers you S3 compatible cloud object storage with no gotchas. Enjoy high performance with free data egress up to 3x your monthly total storage and no minimum storage duration fees. Wasabi service comes with a “reasonable rate” download policy and minimum storage duration fees. Backblaze B2 also allows you to build the AI functionality you need into your workflows through several integration partners that offer automated metadata tagging, transcription, media search by logo or other object recognition, and semantic scene understanding.
