With Microsoft Office 365, there is a shared responsibility model. It’s your data — you control it — and it is your responsibility to protect it.  So you’ve decided to backup your Office 365 data in the cloud, but there are many clouds to choose from – and not all clouds are created equal.  Many of the big name cloud providers that you may be inclined to consider sound good at first but in reality have hidden fees that make for complicated, unpredictable bills and unwelcome surprises of egress and API request fees every month.  Rumor has it you need a PhD in cloud storage billing analytics or to hire a team of consultants to decipher your monthly data storage bills!

Not true with Wasabi hot cloud storage. Wasabi makes cloud storage simple for customers and partners. Wasabi is simple, predictable, affordable, Veeam Ready S3 compatible object storage that works seamlessly with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365.

There’s a reason why Wasabi is the fastest growing cloud storage company who now boasts over 25,000 customers and 5,000 channel partners globally.  And why Wasabi is by far the most widely deployed cloud storage destination for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365.

Actually there are 5 reasons!

Reason 1: Price

Low cost, predictable pricing that is 80% less than hyperscaler storage.  That’s not a typo – 80% less and also no fees for egress or API requests, making your bill both simple and, more importantly, predictable.  And with both pay-as-you-go or reserved capacity billing options, the choice is yours for which model makes sense for your business.  There is even a calculator you can use to compare costs… check it out.

Reason 2: Performance

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 with Wasabi hot cloud storage is always on and always available.  There are no complex tiers so you can upload, download and access your data quickly and easily with speeds that outperform those other vendors. Plus with only one tier you are getting hot cloud storage performance at a cold storage price!

Reason 3: Protection

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 with Wasabi hot cloud storage offers data center redundancy, 11x9s of data durability, and immutable storage. Data backups are secure, so you don’t need to worry about ransomware or human error deletions, or any other worrisome events.

Reason 4: Partnerships

Wasabi is super partner friendly! The Wasabi Partner Network, just like the Wasabi service, was designed for simplicity!  Wasabi sells through a fast growing network of 5,000+ MSPs, VARs, and distributors globally who take advantage of Wasabi’s affordable value prop as well as free self led training, marketing campaign resources and more in Wasabi’s best of breed partner portal.

Reason 5: Peace of Mind

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 with Wasabi allows for an enterprise to scale their backups infinitely. With traditional on-premises storage systems, users would have to guess at what their storage needs were going to be in the future. These devices fill up quickly, leaving organizations in a constant state of needing to upgrade their on prem storage. Wasabi offers a bottomless vault for data, ensuring that companies never need to worry about what data to save and what data to delete.  With Wasabi you can save it all at a super affordable price.

Also People are noticing!

(I just had to sneak one more P in there.)  Wasabi is recognized by analysts and press for innovation in cloud storage. IDC named Wasabi as a Contender in this space in their Marketspace Report on Public Cloud Storage.  In addition, Wasabi has received numerous CRN awards as well and is frequently written about in Forbes, ITProPortal, Computer Weekly, and more.

There are probably 100 more reasons but the bottom line is that office 365 backups do not need to break the bank, and they won’t with Veeam and Wasabi! The ability to store more data for less is crucial in a business ecosystem that values data more than ever before. Additionally, a lightened load on a business’ storage budget frees up time and capital for other, more important things.

Wasabi believes storage should be a utility like electricity: fast, reliable, and inexpensive. Choosing Wasabi as the object storage destination for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 offers your business improved price and performance, as well as the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ll never run out of space.
