Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage
Fast, simple, predictable cloud object storage—without the surprise fees.
Wasabi Technologies delivers “hot” cloud object storage designed for everyday access: backup, recovery, active archives, media libraries, and cloud-native apps. There are no complex tiers to manage—and Wasabi emphasizes no fees for egress or API calls, making costs easier to forecast.
Why “Hot” Cloud Storage Matters
Traditional cloud storage often forces you into tiering decisions (hot vs. cool vs. archive) that add complexity and slow restores when you need them most. Wasabi positions its platform as hot storage by default, so your data stays readily accessible without tier-based delays.
Key Benefits
Predictable pricing
Wasabi highlights no egress fees and no API request fees, helping avoid bill shock during large restores, migrations, or analytics workloads.
S3 compatibility
Wasabi provides an Amazon S3-compatible interface (often described as “bit-compatible”), enabling many tools and applications to work with minimal change.
Built for backup and recovery
Because the storage is designed to stay “hot,” it’s well-suited for fast restores and operational recovery workflows.
Ransomware Resilience with Immutability
Wasabi supports immutability via Object Lock/compliance features, helping prevent backup data from being modified or deleted during a defined retention period—an important control for ransomware recovery planning.
Security Essentials
Wasabi states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with support for HTTPS and server-side encryption (including customer-provided keys in some modes).
Wasabi has also announced ISO/IEC 27001 certification as part of its security and compliance posture.
Common Use Cases
Backup repositories (endpoints, servers, SaaS exports)
Immutable offsite backups for ransomware recovery
Active archive (media, project files, logs)
Disaster recovery staging and rapid restores
Cloud-native application storage using S3-compatible tooling
Get Started
Whether you’re modernizing backup, improving ransomware recovery, or replacing tiered storage complexity, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage provides a straightforward path: hot object storage with predictable billing and broad S3-compatible integration.

Here’s a clear, business-focused explanation of why an organization might choose Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage over other S3-compatible providers (like AWS S3, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.) — perfect for a web page, sales pitch, or MSP client education page:
Why Choose Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage Over Other S3 Providers?
When evaluating cloud storage options, businesses care most about cost predictability, performance, accessibility, and ease of integration. Wasabi stands out because it was built from the ground up to excel in exactly those areas — without unnecessary pricing complexity or surprise fees.
💰 More Predictable & Lower Cost Pricing
Unlike legacy hyperscalers, Wasabi keeps storage pricing simple:
No egress fees —you won’t pay extra every time you retrieve data.
No API request fees —operations like PUT/GET don’t add hidden costs.
Lower base storage cost —typically a small fraction of tier-1 providers with more complex billing.
This means businesses can forecast storage spend with confidence—especially important for large datasets, backups, archives, or disaster recovery workloads where frequent restores occur.
⚡ True “Hot” Storage — Instant Access to Your Data
Wasabi’s storage doesn’t lock data away in tiers where retrieval is slow or costly:
All storage is hot by default —always instantly retrievable.
No need to guess which data belongs in “cold,” “warm,” or “archival” tiers.
This can simplify backup and recovery workflows without performance penalties.
Many hyperscale providers charge additional fees or delay access when data moves to lower-cost tiers — but Wasabi keeps access fast with predictable performance.
🔁 Seamless Integration with the S3 Ecosystem
Wasabi is fully compatible with the Amazon S3 API, meaning you can integrate it with:
Backup solutions (Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, MSP tools, etc.)
Workflow systems and applications that already speak S3
Multi-cloud or hybrid cloud architectures
Because Wasabi behaves like S3 under the hood, migrating workloads or connecting existing tools is easy — there’s no need to reengineer your environment just to switch storage vendors.
🔒 Durability and Resilience You Expect
Wasabi provides industry-class durability and reliability — similar to other major cloud providers — ensuring your data is protected against loss over time.
Many businesses also use Wasabi’s immutability features (Object Lock) to enhance ransomware protection by making backups tamper-proof for defined retention periods.
🧠 Great Fit for Backup, Recovery, and Growth
For many companies, especially those focused on:
Backup and disaster recovery
Long-term retention and compliance
Active archive or media storage
Growing data lakes with cost constraints
Wasabi often hits the sweet spot between affordability and accessibility — especially when compared to hyperscale S3 options with layered storage classes and complicated fees.
In Short
Businesses choose Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage because it delivers cost predictability, real-world performance, and seamless integration in an S3-compatible package — without the pricing complexity and surprise fees that are common with many legacy cloud storage providers.
If your organization wants to reduce cloud storage costs while keeping data instantly accessible and easy to manage, Wasabi is a compelling alternative to traditional S3 offerings.

Wasabi Surveillance Storage
Cost-effective, scalable cloud storage for modern video surveillance
Video surveillance data is growing fast—and traditional storage models weren’t built to keep up. Wasabi Surveillance Storage is purpose-built to help organizations store, retain, and retrieve video footage securely without unpredictable fees or complex tiering.
Powered by Wasabi Technologies, Wasabi Surveillance Storage delivers hot cloud object storage optimized for video workloads, making it ideal for physical security, compliance retention, and investigations—at a fraction of the cost of legacy or hyperscale storage platforms.
Built for Video, Not Billing Surprises
Surveillance systems generate large volumes of data that must be retained for weeks, months, or even years. With traditional cloud storage, accessing footage can trigger costly retrieval fees.
Wasabi takes a different approach:
No egress fees when you need to review or export footage
No API request fees for frequent video writes and reads
Single-tier “hot” storage—your video is always accessible
This makes Wasabi especially well-suited for high-ingest, long-retention surveillance environments.
Key Benefits of Wasabi Surveillance Storage
Predictable, lower cost storage
Store more video for longer without worrying about retrieval penalties or tier transitions.
Always-on access to footage
Footage stays hot and immediately available for investigations, audits, and incident response.
Scales with your environment
From a single site to hundreds of cameras across multiple locations, Wasabi scales effortlessly as your surveillance footprint grows.
S3-compatible integration
Works with many modern Video Management Systems (VMS) and cloud-enabled surveillance platforms that support S3-compatible object storage.
Security, Retention & Compliance
Surveillance data is often sensitive and subject to regulation. Wasabi supports the controls organizations expect, including:
Encryption in transit and at rest
Immutability (Object Lock) to prevent deletion or tampering during required retention periods
Retention policy alignment for regulatory, legal, or internal requirements
These features help ensure video evidence remains protected, intact, and defensible.
Ideal Use Cases
Commercial and enterprise video surveillance
Multi-site retail, healthcare, and education environments
Long-term video retention for compliance or liability protection
Offsite protection against theft, damage, or recorder failure
