Backblaze Opens New US East Data Region
December 13 2022 - 9:30AM
Backblaze, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLZE), the leading independent storage
cloud platform, today announced that it has expanded with a new
data region in the Eastern United States.
The U.S. East data region provides more location choice overall,
bringing increased access speed for customers based in the Eastern
U.S. and greater geographic separation for backup data stored by
businesses operating in other regions. The new region also helps
provide an additional destination for businesses seeking to store
copies of their datasets to two or more cloud locations for
compliance and continuity needs. This Cloud Replication service is
provided with free data egress, enabling customers to copy data
across the Backblaze platform at no expense—making its
cost-effective object storage even more compelling.
“Delivering more options for where and how our customers store
data is part of the definition of ‘easy’ at Backblaze,” Nilay
Patel, Vice President of Sales at Backblaze, commented. “We are
also excited to deliver more choices for our new Cloud Replication
offering, including free egress between any of our regions. I speak
to customers every day, and I know they’ll be excited and eager to
put our newest region to work.”
Data stored in U.S. East will reside in Backblaze’s newest data
center, IAD 1, located in Reston, Virginia. This data center
features an exabyte of capacity with room to grow further, and
supports SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, and HIPAA compliance
requirements to help ensure that data in the East region is safe
and readily available for Backblaze customers.
“As businesses’ data storage and protection needs evolve, their
methods and strategies will need to evolve with them,” said Gleb
Budman, Backblaze CEO and Chairperson of the Board. “Storing copies
of data to multiple cloud locations is becoming the new normal. The
expansion of Backblaze’s multi-region cloud infrastructure means
customers can replicate data more cost effectively with free data
egress.”
The new U.S. East data region is available to customers today.
The company also shared more information about Cloud Replication on
its website and additional insights on the U.S. East data region on
its blog.
