Wasabi, the hot cloud storage company, today announced a new partnership with Digital Bedrock, an affordable, secure digital preservation service. Together, the companies will offer a new solution that extends Digital Bedrock’s offline digital preservation services into the cloud using Wasabi’s low-cost cloud storage.
As a digital preservation service, Digital Bedrock performs ongoing managed, secure data preservation services protecting any type of highly specialized digital content including post-production assets from media and entertainment companies, and valued digital content from museums, individual artists and creators, academic institutions, government agencies, businesses, and cultural heritage organizations. Through its partnership with Wasabi, Digital Bedrock customers can now receive the benefits of a flexible and comprehensive hybrid cloud storage solution for their stored media that is user-friendly, highly secure and low cost.
“In this era of digital production, there is an ongoing need for old and new media assets to be restored for long-term preservation. The evolution of media workflows away from traditional infrastructure centered on durable storage, and towards virtualized operations using cloud storage, have increased the need for a more flexible and efficient hybrid storage model for easy and quick access to preserved data,” said Linda Tadic, CEO and founder of Digital Bedrock. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Wasabi to provide our customers with a dynamic and effective new storage and preservation solution for their media assets.”
Wasabi’s hot cloud storage provides the most affordable alternative for archiving and storing physical media assets. The company’s zero egress fees and low latency allow users to easily access archived data without the fear of excess fees or long delays. Wasabi offers a flexible storage model which means users can increase and reduce capacity based on the amount of data they need to store at a given time.
“Storing, archiving and managing data associated with media files is often an overlooked challenge and is something we’re dedicated to solving through our high-performing and easy-to-use cloud storage,” said David Friend, CEO and co-founder of Wasabi. “Digital Bedrock’s expertise in archival of media and creative assets aligns well with these goals — particularly as we continue to deliver our services storing and managing the mass amounts of data associated with these types of files.”
