Cloud storage budgetary issues? You aren’t alone.
Wasabi Technologies, our spotlight vendor of the month, is revolutionizing the cloud storage landscape by addressing the complexities and hidden costs that often burden organizations. According to the 2025 Wasabi Global Cloud Storage Index, over half of organizations globally (56%) report that data egress and access fees have delayed IT and business initiatives. These fees, encompassing networking, API calls, and retrieval operations, account for nearly half (49%) of the average cloud storage bill, with the remaining 51% attributed to actual storage capacity.
Many organizations lose trust in their cloud storage provider due to pricing economics, not service quality
Wasabi’s approach counters this trend by offering a single-tier, high-performance “hot” cloud storage solution with predictable pricing. Unlike traditional providers, Wasabi eliminates fees for egress, API calls, and data retrieval, allowing businesses to access and utilize their data without unexpected costs.
The 2025 Index also highlights a growing demand for cost transparency and vendor flexibility. Wasabi stands out by removing the common barriers that stifle IT agility—such as complex pricing models and rigid contracts. As a result, organizations gain more freedom to innovate and optimize their data strategies without being penalized for growth.
Wasabi’s continued investment in channel partnerships plays a major role in their global momentum. With over 15,000 channel partners worldwide, Wasabi maintains a channel-first approach that empowers resellers and MSPs to deliver cloud storage solutions that are simple to deploy, easy to scale, and competitively priced, driving better outcomes for end users.
Security is another core pillar of Wasabi’s value. The platform offers advanced data protection features such as immutable storage to prevent tampering or deletion, multi-user authentication, and compliance with major industry standards. With 11 nines of data durability (99.999999999%), Wasabi ensures that organizations can trust their data is not only accessible, but also secure.
Conclusion
With nearly 90% of organizations expecting their cloud storage budgets to rise, Wasabi’s combination of affordability, performance, and simplicity provides a future-ready alternative. As businesses continue to prioritize scalability and resilience, Wasabi is helping redefine what cloud storage can, and should, look like.
