Hot Overview of cloud storage “Wasabi”
Hot Cloud Storage Wasabi is a highly affordable, fast and reliable cloud object storage for all storage purposes.
Wasabi's cloud object storage offers the best of both worlds and is significantly cheaper than cloud storage services such as Amazon S3 Standard / Microsoft Azure Storage (RA-GRS) / Google Cloud Multi Regional.
Designed for superior data durability, integrity, and security, Wasabi provides 11x9 (99.999999999%) object durability to protect against accidental deletion, malware, and viruses. Supports configurable immutable storage. Wasabi is fully compatible with the AWS S3 API, so it works seamlessly with existing storage management applications such as backup and recovery tools.
