The ESG analysis, titled "Economic Validation: Analyzing the Economic Benefits of Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage," validates the affordability and operational advantages of Backblaze B2, including its transparent pricing model, 3x free egress, significantly lower TCO, and simplified storage operations when compared to solutions from alternative cloud storage providers.
