The company operates from data centers in Phoenix, Amsterdam and Sacramento, Calif. During the 2012 global shortage of hard drives, Backblaze organized a “drive farming” expedition in which the company deployed employees, friends and family to acquire drives from retail stores in the Bay Area.
Founded in 2007, the company offers computer backup for personal computers as well as its developer-focused B2 Cloud Storage “as a service” platform.īackblaze is known for its open source Storage Pod design that can house 60 14-terabyte drives. With our data center solutions focused on advanced cooling and power efficiency, Backblaze will not only be able to reduce their environmental impact but also lower their total cost of ownership, all while continuing to meet the high demands of their growing customer base.” Water-Cooled Expansion for Backblazeīackblaze is an independent data storage service provider with more than 500,000 customers in 175 countries, and became a public company through an IPO last year. “We can help foster their growth in a sustainable way. “We are excited to have Backblaze on board,” said Rob Pfleging, CEO of Nautilus. Nautilus has said the site has a handful of customers, but Backblaze is the first to be publicly announced. Last year Nautilus opened its first site in the Port of Stockton with a 7-megawatt data vessel. The company has the ability to deploy capacity on water or land. The Nautilus design uses prefabricated data modules and a water-cooled rear-door cooling unit, a combination that offers exceptional energy efficiency. The customer win is an important milestone for Nautilus Data Technologies, which operates water-cooled data centers that tap rivers, lakes and oceans to slash the cost of cooling servers. Backblaze will deploy 1 megawatt of capacity at the Nautilus Data Technologies facility in Stockton, California, which operates on the San Joaquin River. Backblaze is extending its cloud storage platform to a water-based data center in California, the company said today.
