Object Storage — Saving money by changing providers

With tough economic times ahead. There are some quick wins for organisations to save money on cloud storage and their infrastructure. Often the benefits of doing these quick wins are almost instantaneous and seen in the following month's financials.

Presently a lot of data is being stored in the likes of Amazon S3, Azure Blob and Google Cloud which is expensive, looking at around 0.023 cents a GB, compared to some other options, 0.0059 cents with Wasabi Cloud Storage or 0.005 cents through Backblaze B2.

For example, a company with 100TB of data would be looking at $1,848.32 (51,200GB at 0.0184 per GB + 51,200GB at 0.0177 per GB) a month through Microsoft Azure. Whereas a company using Backblaze B2 would be looking at $512.00 a month. This doesn’t include egress costs or other hidden costs that the likes of Azure and Amazon charge.
