Wasabi teams up with Dell

Cloudy Wasabi Technologies announced a new partnership with Dell Technologies to deliver affordable and ground-breaking hybrid cloud solutions for backup, data protection, and long-term customer retention.

Wasabi Technologies chief executive officer David Friend said that the Wasabi-Dell dream team is stepping up to the plate, offering flexible, efficient hybrid cloud solutions that allow users to streamline their data management processes while slashing overall costs.

“Dell is a clear industry leader with a broad and deep portfolio of transformative technology. This collaboration will catapult Wasabi’s cloud storage into the limelight, catering to users on the hunt for a reliable, economical solution for safeguarding their data archives over the long haul.”

The cloud has become the go-to location for long-term data backup retention and disaster recovery. Dell’s PowerProtect Data Domain appliances seamlessly tier data to Wasabi, enabling customers to reap the benefits of a comprehensive data protection solution for on-premises storage with long-term cloud retention. Plus, Wasabi integrates with Dell NetWorker CloudBoost to bring long-term retention in the cloud to existing NetWorker customers.

IDC research vice president Dave McCarthy said: “The collaboration between Wasabi Technologies and Dell Technologies presents a formidable solution for organisations wrestling with data growth. Organisations are crying out for a hybrid cloud infrastructure that is efficient, cost-effective, and scalable. This collaboration tackles these challenges head-on.”
