Backblaze

Backblaze provides a cloud‑based platform for backing up and storing data at scale. It offers unlimited, automatic backup for individual workstations and enterprise systems, as well as object storage that is compatible with the S3 API but without the typical service limits. The service is positioned for a range of workloads, from hot storage of active media to archival of large datasets, and includes features such as high‑throughput object storage for AI and data‑intensive applications.

The platform is designed for integration across different clouds and technology stacks, allowing users to move, scale, and evolve data without vendor lock‑in. It supports unlimited egress, free API calls, and provides human support for enterprise customers. Performance‑focused offerings such as B2 Overdrive aim to deliver terabit‑scale transfer speeds while keeping costs predictable.

Target users include individuals needing simple computer backup, developers building applications that require fast, S3‑compatible storage, and enterprises that must protect systems and manage massive media or AI workloads. The service emphasizes security, rapid recovery, and cost‑effective scalability.
