B2 Cloud Storage was literally the only technical thing we used in training these models that didn’t crash the first time we tried it. We’re in an industry where everything fails, but Backblaze didn’t.
Backblaze safeguards exabytes of customer data for respected organizations worldwide. Since 2007, we’ve been known for transparent business practices—from sharing industry-improving data to operating as a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: BLZE). Our solutions are easy to adopt, easy to manage, and straightforward to price.
Storing and using data is energy intensive–there’s just no way around this fact. However, by centralizing and optimizing data storage within our network of data centers, the Backblaze Storage Cloud operates more efficiently than distributed, on-premises systems storing the same volume of data. That said, the company understands that there is still more work to be done and is committed to a more sustainable future. Backblaze is acting accordingly to do its part and help B2 Cloud Storage customers reduce their carbon footprints and progress on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies. Backblaze from its beginnings focused on building a sustainable business. We lead the industry with our learning—for more than 10 years, sharing data and insights from more than 200,000 spinning drives to help others globally to do better. Additionally, we’ve operationalized impact reduction, from supporting data lifecycle rules to help customers store selectively and thereby manage down energy consumption, to recycling decommissioned hardware including drives, to moving into our Stockton1 data center for river cooling, no water consumption, no water pollution, no chemical use, and projected carbon footprint approximately 30% below average.
The Backblaze Storage Cloud provides a range of compliance achievements and security-related services to safeguard account access and the data within accounts. Backblaze, and our data centers, have received SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Key features to keep your data secure and compliant with GDPR/UK GDPR, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 include multi-factor authentication, application keys, access management controls, server-side encryption (SSE), and Object Lock immutability.

We're transparent about our business, our pricing, and even our drive and performance statistics. That's why 500,000+ customers trust us with their data.
Your data is protected by infrastructure designed for 11 nines of durability, enterprise-grade access controls, and 24/7 physical security.
