SAN MATEO, CA—Backblaze, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLZE), the object storage leader in the open cloud movement, today announced the launch of Powered by Backblaze. This program helps independent Software Vendors (ISV), technology partners, and other companies take the complexity out of offering object storage within their branded user experience so they can focus on enabling customer success and growing revenue.
“Backblaze is committed to building an open and supportive partner ecosystem,” said Gleb Budman, CEO at Backblaze. “Powered by Backblaze offers our partners the tools to deliver the best cloud storage experience for their customers without any of the complexity of building performant, affordable, easy cloud storage—we are happy to take care of that part.”
Powered by Backblaze today offers two features that support the provisioning of B2 Cloud storage: Custom Domains and the Backblaze Partner API.
Custom Domains, launched today, lets businesses serve content to end users from the web domain or URL of their choosing, with no need for complex code and Backblaze managing the heavy lifting of cloud storage on the back end.
Backblaze Partner API enables organizations to provision Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage storage accounts from within their own platform. The API also allows these companies the ability to Manage accounts, run reports, and create a bundled solution or managed service for a unified user experience.
“Our customers produce thousands of hours of content daily and, with the shift to leveraging cloud services like ours, they need a place to store both their original and transcoded files,” says Murad Mordukhay, CEO at Qencode, a cloud video solutions provider. “The Backblaze Partner API allows us to expand our cloud services and eliminate complexity for our customers—giving them time to focus on their business needs, while we focus on innovations that drive more value.”
Both features are available for use today. The company published an in-depth exploration of the features and their benefits on its blog.
