Backblaze Fuels Open Cloud Revolution with Data Region Expansion, Doubling Down on High-Performance Storage for AI, High Performance Compute (HPC), and Media Workflows

Backblaze, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLZE), the cloud storage innovator providing a modern alternative to traditional cloud providers, today announced a significant expansion of its data center presence in its US-East region. This strategic growth further strengthens Backblaze's commitment to the open cloud and enhances the high-speed data transfer capabilities available for B2 Overdrive customers, the Backblaze Cloud Storage platform, and members of the Internet2 community.

With this expansion, Backblaze adds more capacity for complex workflows, especially those leveraging AI, high-performance compute (HPC), and media and entertainment. Enterprises leveraging these technologies have increasingly felt the pressure of walled garden pricing structures that limit their capabilities and growth, driving the shift to a true multi-cloud architecture that leverages best-of-breed providers like Backblaze.

Doubling the data footprint in Backblaze’s US-East region expands their ability to meet growing demand. This investment underscores Backblaze's dedication to providing customers with geographically diverse options for data storage, high performance cloud storage, and cloud-first disaster recovery strategies. The expanded capacity is also connected to Internet2’s network as part of the Internet2 peer exchange (I2PX), which means it is designed to enable Internet2 members to move data in and out of Backblaze US-East and US-West regions at incredibly high speeds.

"Expanding our US-East presence is a significant step for our open cloud vision," said Gleb Budman, CEO of Backblaze. "We're all about giving customers the freedom to pick the best service providers for their needs, instead of getting stuck in those complicated, and often pricey, hyperscaler systems that hit you with surprise charges. This expansion helps us deliver more amazing cloud storage performance with best-of-breed flexibility."
