Wasabi is an object storage service, similar to services like Amazon S3 Storage, Microsoft Azure Storage, and Google Cloud Storage.[2] The company was founded in September, 2015 and launched its cloud storage product called "Hot Storage" in May, 2017.[3] The cloud storage product is 100% compatible with Amazon S3.[4]
Wasabi charges by the amount of storage used at a rate of $.0039 per gigabyte per month, with no extra charges for PUTs, GETs, and other operations or pricing tiers.[5]
Wasabi Hot Storage provides users with immutable "buckets." Data stored in an immutable bucket cannot be altered or erased, thereby eliminating the possibility of accidental or malicious loss of data.[6][7]
Wasabi launched with a single data center location in Ashburn, Virginia,[8]which some people have expressed concern with in online forums.[9]
On March 20th, 2018 Wasabi announced satellite-based cloud storage, collaborating on the SpaceBelt project to use satellites as data centers.[10]
Overview[edit]
Wasabi was founded in 2015 by David Friend and Jeff Flowers, co-founders of Carbonite, an on-line backup service, among other companies.[11] Wasabi is privately funded and has raised $8.9 million in May, 2017 and $10.8 million in August, 2017.[12]
In May 2017, Wasabi launched with its hot storage cloud storage solution. Initially called "BlueArchive" at its founding, the company was later renamed to "Wasabi," after hot Japanese horseradish.[13]
Technology[edit]
Architecture[edit]
Wasabi organizes the bits on disk to minimize head movement, thereby increasing the data throughput of an individual drive, coupled with a parallelized architecture that allows data to be written to disks simultaneously.[14] A high degree of redundancy creates data durability of eleven 9's.[15]
Storage performance[edit]
Wasabi is built to be 100% AWS S3 bit-compatible with the same AWS API constructs for storage & identity management.[16] Its system architecture and design provides average time-to-first-byte (TTFB) performance that is less than 15 ms and sustained read/write speeds in excess of 5 gbps.[17]
Data protection & immutability[edit]
Wasabi users have the option to make their data buckets immutable.[18] An immutable object within Wasabi cannot be deleted or modified by any individual, including system admins and Wasabi employees.[19] Wasabi has active data integrity checking that dictates that all stored objects are read and checked for integrity every 90 days for the duration the object is stored.[17][20]
Internally consistent[edit]
Wasabi is "internally consistent",[17] meaning that data can be written and retrieved immediately thereafter rather than "eventually consistent," meaning that data that is written may not appear to be present immediately after writing.[21]
